    Family Caregivers Need to Take Charge

    by Jane Glenn Haas

    Dr. Alexander K. Smith hopes to provoke a national discussion about being frank with the very elderly about their individual medical prognosis.

    Plan ahead for when the time comes

    Telehealth will become a feature of healthcare delivery, not a market. Analyst firms have to pick a date for ending forecast sizing models.

    In a last-minute attempt to stop the U.S. from defaulting for the first time ever on its loan obligations, Congress voted this week to increase the country's debt ceiling by at least $2.1 trillion. The deal includes $917 billion in spending cuts over the next 10 years, and the establishment of a congressional committee to reduce the deficit further by $1.5 trillion. Questions remain, however, about what is at stake: Where will these cuts come from? How will social safety nets such as Medicare be affected?
