Researchers found that doctors-in-training are
now devoting only about 12 percent of their time at the patient’s
bedside, far less than in previous generations, instead spending almost
half their days in front of a computer screen documenting their cases.

While hydraulic fracturing is accepted in the
United States to retrieve oil or gas, in Europe, opposition is
widespread and entrenched. But that may be changing.

And some are not.
There is too much magic in fracking.
It delivers some gas for a modest amount of time. The cost is high.

Central Park and the High Line have donors who
can drop millions in a moment; other parks, frequently those outside
Manhattan that don’t draw tourists, are getting desperate.

There must be taxes. They must be steeply progressive.
A good shot of inflation would help the city by reducing the value of rents.
As things stand any market rate city dwelling will beggar any but the most wealthy.

As part of the new health care law, companies
that offer high-end health care plans to their employees will face a 40
percent tax in 2018, and many are scaling back some benefits.

There is something very sick about this view. A six thousand dollar deductible sounds like no insurance at all. In an age of hundred thousand dollar medical bills this catastrophic coverage is worth the price. The wrong costs are being controlled.
