Emily would come home in tears, until she and her mother met Maggie Varney, a cosmetologist who was teaching teen cancer patients how to cope with the appearance-related side effects of treatment. Varney told Emily's story to one of her clients, who was so moved that he wrote a $400 check for a wig.

| | | Global health care headed for sick bay, report says | | Posted Tuesday, November 07, 2006 11:12:07 AM by Blog57 Team | | Even though the United States spends 2.4 times more on health care than the average industrialized nation, the World Health Organization ranks it 37th in overall health system performance. But other nations aren't doing much better. In Ontario, Canada's most populous province, health care will account for half of government spending by 2011, two-thirds by 2017 and the whole enchilada by 2026. Despite economic successes in China, more than one-third of its people cannot afford any professional health care. These are a few tidbits from a report being released Monday by IBM Corp. that predicts if things don't start changing soon, health-care systems around the world will start collapsing by 2015. IBM executives are meeting with people from other corporations, governments, insurance firms and physicians to spread its call to utterly reorganize health-care systems before it's too late.... | |
