The right medicines taken in the right ways are safe and effective tools for good health.
However, most people seem to "collect" medicines, buying the latest over-the-counter remedies for minor illnesses, taking what is needed, and storing the remainder in the medicine cabinet.
The danger is often greater for older people who use more prescription and nonprescription medications.
Because of the number of medicines used, older adults are more likely to get medications confused or use out-of-date products.

The 1999-2000 school year was the tenth anniversary of the birth of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, which provides tuition vouchers for low-income Milwaukee students to use at city private schools.
The Public Policy Forum hopes to illustrate the breadth of choices available to parents, as well as the impact the program has had on participating schools.
MPCP students tuition in excess of the amount of the state voucher.
MPCP student enrollment in each area mirrors the concentration of schools in these areas, as would be expected.
Most schools explained that they became involved with the MPCP program for financial reasons (9 out of 17).

This issue of Health Care News provides a summary of the results of two Harris Interactive surveys conducted for, and published by, The Boston Consulting Group.
Long after the ebubble has burst, physicians continue to move online and to report that the information they find in the virtual realm influences their real-world medical decisions in significant ways.
This survey was conducted online within the United States between April 16 and 23, 2002, among a nationwide cross-section of 11,494 adults (ages 18+) who have one or more of 45 chronic or recurring medical conditions.
Harris Interactive (www.harrisinteractive.com) is a worldwide market research and consulting firm best known for The Harris Poll®, and for pioneering the Internet method to conduct scientifically accurate market research.

This Internet-based survey questioned middle-aged women (age 35-69) regarding their current attitudes, beliefs, symptoms, and treatment choices surrounding menopause.
No particular symptom was strongly correlated (r>.4) to lifestyle behaviors.
Questions regarding information exchange reveal that many women are not consulting with their health care providers about HRT or frequently discussing alternatives.
Lifestyle behaviors and menopause symptoms: All of the linear regression models used to test our hypotheses can be found in table 4.
Specifically, scores on the lifestyle profile measure can be expected to decrease 1.51 points for every one unit increase in the Menopause Quality of Life Measure.

In a model of spatial competition, we analyse the equilibrium outcomes in markets where the product price is exogenous.
Using an extended version of the Hotelling model, we assume that firms choose their locations and the quality of the product they supply.
In the seminal paper by D'Aspremont et al. (1979) it was demonstrated that Hotelling's (1929) prediction that firms would agglomerate in the market centre was not correct.
In this section we analyse how a regulator should optimally set the price in this particular market.
For comparative purposes, we start out by considering the socially optimal first-best solution.
A positive mark-up is necessary in order to induce the firms to undertake quality investments.

The money is part of a $20 billion package of federal aid Congress approved two weeks ago along with the tax cut President Bush was pushing for.
The state would do this by using as much of the federal money as possible to pay for services already rendered.
Money that can't be used in that way would go for near-term needs that won't be built into the budget on a permanent basis.
The governor's fiscal shop circulated a plan last week laying out one way the new federal money might be spent.
The governor, for example, had proposed suspending a planned increase in benefit checks to the low-income aged and disabled.

We are worried that the Panel may highlight "structural deficits" that the government may in turn use to foreclose efforts to redress BC's outstanding "social deficits."
We are also concerned that the new BC government has fundamentally prejudiced the work of the Panel by announcing dramatic tax cuts before the work of the Panel is complete.
Based on 1998 official tax data, it is possible to estimate the impacts of the BC tax cuts in terms of how they are spread among different income groups.
Such initiatives would further undermine BC's fiscal position and the province's ability to adequately fund existing public programs, let alone bring in needed new ones (such as child care and home care).
