ReplyDavid Kroll's comments are really stupid. Women are smart enough to know about breast health and how to take care of themselves. His comments are patronizing and demeaning to women. Since when is Forbes Magazine an expert on women's health?

ReplyLaVerne, I would agree. While it is humane and ethical to make sure that people have access to decent housing, there will always be people who disrespect their landlord's property. At best, the landlord-tenant relationship is one of mutual respect. At worst, it is a nightmare.

ReplyTIME published a well-researched article on March 4, 2013 about health care bills. The amount of hospital bills is determined by the "chargemaster" which greatly exaggerates bills to make a huge profit. Even not-for-profit hospitals are making a profit! The cause? For every member of Congress, there are more than 7 lobbyists working for various parts of the health care industry. This article is really an eye opener. It was researched and written by Stephen Brill.

Thanks, Stuart, for your clear evaluation of measurement tools. Flawed data gives flawed results. That age-old adage again proves true: Garbage in, garbage out.
