MARCO Grand Rounds for February 8, 2006

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Last week we finished with the consensus of health care in the USA in 2010. Incidentally, had interview with a Dutchman who explained the new health system (went into effect Jan. 1, 2006) in the Netherlands where, get this, the government has been all but phased out of the health care business...it is now mandatory that all citizens over 18 have a private basic health care policy with extras available at higher rates. All physcians MUST retire when they are 65. and entry to medical school is via a lottery. Details in next NL

This week we will discuss "LUPUS"--check the article in the FEb. 1 2006 JAMA, using stem cells after ablation rx.
