Beware: fox guarding the health care hen house
Dr. Richard Hoffman's guest post on our blog last week [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001W0yikPeUVR43VO9u7rIC4UeQndc9un_UnMhnnoSh5-Q7c-85Z9qugLKQzczbmiV61ijUfQ8QVifgsnKk50K2mVZO9U4u4CZ4WWA6-cRBuj0jMa0yLbEU2d-UczckwzGFR3SWQstMz85QH0UHSAO7NytoifZE99vc2UfNYrw02obn6J0Jiiz3XGEfFxUjzbePCiCNflz9Vu0Aki2JvnIwnjIrw7kVVXtOT5lewbkiXEdZNXat-BL3ARvQ47ZpGgte]
drew lots of traffic as he looked at American Urological Association support for
a bill to make "significant changes to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force."

Another guest post - by Harold DeMonaco - was timely in its call for "Stemming the
commercial stem cell hype. [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001W0yikPeUVR6Cazis8dXotcXLv_XCScYa6j1h6g31eLFDdGfetJbpDBoxtaCDUP5XaF1nML-Rc4AsYIlqgM1uNEH1OcUPnejHc0cXeFoYBOs4M5kpP0UNC07t_1oIwBxs3j0lW8sE7zI3HNl-FnhmDTeuOysLx0I-kaCWp-NFhM5hwBzIyIZUWSMP-IK5NSc2]"
News about Yankees pitcher Bartolo Colon or Texas Governor Rick Perry have put stem
cells in the headlines, but read DeMonaco's post for what's often missing in the
discussion.
