UNICEF also expressed its alarm at the dire living conditions within the conflict zone where a critical lack of medicines, food and clean water are adding to the suffering of those trapped.

STAR*D provided evidence for step-by-step guidelines to address treatment-resistant depression. Many treatment-resistant depression patients would be excluded from drug efficacy trials because those trials typically eliminate study candidates who have previously tried treatment, have suicidal thoughts or have other psychiatric illnesses.
"We show that investments in current technologies and improved green water use can promote more robust, climate-resilient farming systems, which provide more stable food supplies," says Holger Hoff, researcher at the Potsdam-Institute for Climate Impact Research. Many countries which are classified as chronically blue water-short, have enough blue-plus-green water to produce a standard diet for their populations. Kenya, for example, has plenty of unused or not well-managed green water to benefit from. "Not even by 2050 and under climate change will the country become water-short if both blue and green water will be managed well," says Hoff.

- Akron Beacon Journal: The "general response to the voluntary commitment" by health care industry groups regarding their pledge to reduce health care spending growth "is a decidedly skeptical, 'Yeah. We'll believe it when we see it,'" a Beacon Journal editorial states. The editorial continues, "And for good reason" because the groups "represent a multitude of conflicting self-interests that have derailed many a reform effort." The groups' proposals "offer the broadest of brush strokes, with a promise the specifics will be presented soon." The editorial concludes, "Until then, skeptics correctly note that all that has been offered so far is a promise of collaboration with no means of enforcement and no guarantees" (Akron amoxicillin with milk Journal, 5/13).
- Bergen Record: The groups' vow "is a sure sign that they realize [President] Obama is serious -- and that the public won't be lulled into complacency this time around by" efforts to "end the discussion" on health reform, according to a Record editorial. "They will not be satisfied with empty promises," the editorial states, adding, "All those who have profited at the expense of patients should be held to their word that they are committed to true reform -- meaning equitable, accessible and affordable health care for all" (Bergen Record, 5/12).
- Boston Globe: While "there isn't enough meat in" the health industry groups' pledge to reduce spending growth, the move is still "encouraging, because it shows that the industry amoxicillin with milk worried by the prospect of government-mandated savings if costs continue to climb," a Globe editorial states. The editorial recommends that as "Congress devises a reform plan to make health care sustainable, it should have the Congressional Budget Office weigh measures like these and any that the industry comes up with" (Boston Globe, 5/17).
- Boston Globe: A proposal to tax employer-sponsored health benefits to help pay for expanded health coverage "could suffer the ignominious fate of 1988's catastrophic care plan" for Medicare beneficiaries, which was "wildly unpopular" and repealed in 1989, a Globe editorial states. "If the president and Congress want to reduce the ranks of the uninsured, they need a way to pay for it," though a "careful" examination of a recent poll showing low support for taxing employer health amoxicillin with milk "could steer them away from a 1989-style crack-up" (Boston Globe, 5/18).
- Des Moines Register: Obama and Congress "should encourage the private sector
amoxicillin with milk
save the $2 trillion over the next 10 years" and "[t]hen lawmakers should create a public health insurance option for all Americans," according to a Register editorial. The editorial concludes that with these joint plans, "Everyone would be doing their part to control costs and get people covered." The editorial adds that the "country could end up with a vastly improved health care system" (Des Moines Register, 5/12). - Financial Times: The pledge health industry officials made on Monday to reduce health care costs is "far less than the breakthrough Mr. Obama claimed," a Financial Times editorial states. According to the editorial, the promised reduction in cost is "no more than an aspiration," as "[n]one of the parties is formally committed to any part of it, and there is no mechanism for enforcement or accountability" of the insurers (Financial Times, 5/13).
- Fort Worth Star-Telegram: It is "a rare sight indeed to see an industry leader ask for greater government regulation," but that is what Karen Ignagni, president and CEO of America's Health Insurance Plans, did at a recent Senate hearing, a Star-Telegram editorial states. The editorial notes that Ignagni said that AHIP's "members 'accept the premise that the [U.S. health care] system is not working today and needs to be reformed.'" According to the editorial, the health insurance industry has been "backpedaling furiously to forestall its worst nightmare: a Medicare-style public plan that potentially could drive private insurance companies out of business." The editorial concludes, "Even if the public insurance plan does not come to fruition, its threat is forcing significant and long-overdue private health insurance reform. Now that is progress" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, 5/10).
- Houston Chronicle: Obama's "refusal to back away from fixing health care -- and fixing it soon -- apparently is bringing many heretofore reluctant parties to the table," given industry officials' stated goals to reduce costs, a Chronicle editorial states. Although "some of this talk is pure semantics," Obama should "[h]ang tough" and keep reform efforts "at the top of his agenda," the editorial states (Houston Chronicle, 5/14).
- Miami Herald: The recent promises of private insurers to reduce costs "are only words, not guarantees," a Herald editorial states. According to the editorial, "If we have learned anything at all from decades of failed attempts to reform the way Americans get medical care, it's that promises, good intentions and voluntary guidelines don't work" (Miami Herald, 5/15).
- PittsburghTribune-Review: Obama's health reform plan will do "the exact opposite of its stated goal," the editorial says, adding, "Government health care won't lower costs; it will raise them. Government health care won't increase quality; it will lower it. And government health care won't widen access to care; it will constrict it" (Pittsburgh amoxicillin with milk 5/13).
- San Francisco Chronicle: "The signs" for accomplishing health care reform this year "are awfully encouraging," but "trouble lurks just below the surface," according to a Chronicle editorial. "If he wants this to get done right, Obama is going to have to engage Congress on every aspect of the legislation," but unfortunately "for now, the White House is being relatively quiet on specifics, preferring to let Congress hash out the details" -- a tactic that almost "derailed" the economic stimulus package, the editorial states (San Francisco Chronicle, 5/17).
- Salt Lake Tribune: Promises made by health industry officials are "vague and unenforceable," but they also show that "the moguls of medical money know that they're in for a fight," a Tribune editorial states. According to the editorial, "For now, they want to play nice, making a show of cooperation," a strategy that "could change if the president and his Democratic colleagues in Congress stick with their decision to provide a public plan to supplement private insurers" that might create too much competition for the private market to flourish (Salt Lake Tribune, 5/12).
