The following was written prior to enactment of PPACA by the United States Congress. Whether or not the present healthcare law (sometimes referred to as ObamaCare) is fully implemented will be decided by the United States Supreme Court, as many states have filed challenges to the Act.

From a commuter's point of view, the advantages of daily travel, such as a better paid job or better housing conditions, need to be weighed against adverse health effects.

Age UK is accused of ending key research into ageing :: Funding neglects biological study of growing old, say academicsLeading scientists have warned that Age UK, the country's leading charity for older people, risks letting future generations down by abandoning fundamental research into the biology of ageing, instead only bankrolling studies that deliver short-term payoffs.Professor Richard Faragher, chair of the British Society for Research on Ageing, said that the move was especially unwelcome when scientists are tantalisingly close to cracking the secrets of how cells and bodies age."I worry that the increased emphasis on translational research risks basic research dropping off the agenda of Age UK, which would be damaging for the charity, damaging for scientists and damaging for older people," said Faragher, a professor at the University o...

The substance in question â€" graphene â€" 200 times as strong as steel, seems to some designed to carry the weight of almost anything â€" but George Osborne's Plan A? That would indeed make it a miracle material.Nevertheless the chancellor made a detour from the Tory conference in Blackpool in September to visit Manchester University, gra...
