As the government moves to involve itself in more of our healthcare in the ramp-up to the implementation of Obamacare, the old ways in which it interferes with the doctor-patient relationship serve as a stark reminder of what is come. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the regulatory body that basically sets the tone for which drugs patients have access to, is preparing to dramatically shift the drug approval process for the United States.  It appears that using the late-stage cancer drug Avastin as a test case, the FDA is using cost as a factor in the drug approval process.  The result of the “de-labeling” of the drug is that only those who can afford to pay for the drug will have access to it.  Medicare and private insurance companies will be able to deny breast cancer patients coverage for this life-extending drug. (more)

If you were dying of cancer, how much money would be too much money to spend to extend your life? That’s a ridiculous question, of course, because there is no price tag that could be put on more time with loved ones, but that’s exactly what the government does every day when they decide whether or not to allow “off-label” use of certain drugs, which set the guidelines private insurance follows. (more)

One after another, shortly after a diagnosis of breast cancer, each of the women learned that her health insurance had been canceled. First there was Yenny Hsu, who lived and worked in Los Angeles. Later, Robin Beaton, a registered nurse from Texas. And then, most recently, there was Patricia Relling, a successful art gallery owner and interior designer from Louisville, Kentucky. (more)

An American Heart Association study released last month found that only half of American women would call 9-1-1 if they were having symptoms of a heart attack. One has to wonder if this alarming statistic is related to the fact that so many women don’t know that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women—more than all forms of cancer, including breast cancer—and the fact that so few people realize that half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal levels of cholesterol. For whatever reason, we have what could easily be called a heart-health awareness crisis among women. (more)

First lady Michelle Obama is taking on a tough but crucial challenge with her new national campaign, “Let’s Move,” to combat childhood obesity. Just looking at these frightening facts: Almost one in three children in this country is overweight. About 17 percent are dangerously obese. And a quarter of all kids from 5 to 10 already have high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels. What’s cause for concern isn’t only how much we know about the prevalence of childhood obesity but also how little we know about how to prevent it through healthy eating. (more)
