Hello Subscribers,

Since health care has been such a big topic in the news lately, I've written the first of what I hope will be two articles about obstacles to reform. An important note: If you take Lipitor, and it works for you, my mention of it in this article means no offense to you. I could have used any drug as an example for the purposes of the argument. I just happened to use Lipitor.

Here's to your health, and here's the latest article from the Democratic Party site at BellaOnline.com.

Reform, Drugs, and the NNT
Read about the NNT, or Number Needed to Treat, and where it fits into the relationship between drug companies and the health care reform plan.
