Their results can be found in the July 2009 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The Health Care Sausage The New York Times Watching Barack Obama trying to push members of Congress toward some kind of agreement on a health care bill gives you a new appreciation for why Hillary Clinton decided to just write the whole thing herself and dump it on them (Collins, 7/22). Obama Needs A Move To The Middle The Wall Street Journal We need a better, more coherent policy path back to a strong market economy - not to a European style social-welfare state, permanent government lifelines and stagflation (Boskin, 7/22). Health Care Impasse Is An Opportunity CBS News One problem with the so-called reform bills is that they are based on a flawed and confusing argument that says we must spend a lot now to save a lot later (Coburn, 7/22).
