The Cream of Health Care Posts

This week, over at Disease Management Care Blog Jaan Sidorov hosts Honk Wonk Review, a compendium of the best health care posts of the past two weeks. Sidorov offers a tasty buffet, with links to all of the posts.

 Just a few highlights:

At Health Access Anthony Wright  is on the news as he  rails against private insurers who explicitly factor in gender (care to guess if males pay more or less?) and a past history of a caesarian section in their health insurance pricin . (Elizabeth Edwards also weighs in on this topic here.)

On InsureBlog, H.G. Stern reviews Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s pessimistic economic assessment of health care. “It costs a lot. It’s going to cost more. Information tech doesn’t hold a candle to growing demand paired with . . . ever pricier treatment options. And we are all going to pay for it.”

Julie Ferguson, of Worker’s Comp Insider fame, posts about I.T. behemoth Google’s foray into the electronic medical-personal-health record with links summarizing both the benefits and the problems.
