1. well...

now this may not be new to the science geeks and medical professionals out there... I just started taking an Anatomy and Physiology class... I just learned about HELA cells and I am awestruck (despite some of the ethical concerns)

2. There is mischief afoot with regard to Medicare -

If your doctor enters into the The Direct Contracting Entities program, all of his/her patients automatically get moved into an Advantage type program even if they have chosen Medigap supplemental coverage to their Medicare coverage. That stinks.
