A system like Project Access which would make it easier for doctors to treat the uninsured by giving them the flexibility to choose how many patients they want to treat.
The theory is that by spreading the patient load around doctors will not feel overburdened, making them more likely to donate their time.

And finally in medical news,
A new study on osteoporosis found that women who were on both hormone replacements and bone building drugs, like Fosamax over a three year period significantly increased their bone density compared to those only on one form of treatment.
Hip bone density increased six percent with combination therapy compared to four percent with the single treatment. Spinal densities increased 10 percent as opposed to four percent with single therapy.
And while that might seem like a small percentage --Doctor Bayliss says other studies have shown that even small changes can be significant.
