_A Ray of Light in the Dark: Integrative Healthcare Specifically Included

in the Senate Healthcare Bill’s Statutory Language!

_ (http://aahf.convio.net/site/R?i=2R9WVRqIgvpVecsvG5ZHdQ..)

Precedent-setting language puts integrative healthcare right into the

Senate’s bill. If

the bill passes, and the language survives reconciliation with the House,

wrong with the Senate bill, we should take a moment to appreciate this

critical victory.

_ (http://aahf.convio.net/site/R?i=7_aNWKoqgBseBFBvSsr7Aw..) Harvard study

finds that electronic medical records, which may soon be required under

healthcare reform, actually increase the cost of healthcare.

_$500 Million to be Spent Lobbying Congress on Healthcare Reform._

industry

cashes in early, raising its prices.

_HSAs in the Crosshairs of Congressional Healthcare Reform

_ (http://aahf.convio.net/site/R?i=F6tZ-CIHIECxdRzJ-ICW1w..) Sen. Harry Reid

’s bill would cripple healthcare savings accounts and our freedom to

manage our own healthcare spending.
