Lawmakers Prepare For Health Care Reform Action During Memorial Day Recess; Advocacy Groups Promote Reform Agendas
Republican and Democratic lawmakers have been given "talking points" on health care reform to discuss with constituents during the Memorial Day recess as House and Senate committees work to develop comprehensive reform bills by mid-June, Politico reports (Budoff Brown, Politico, 5/26). According to The Hill, talking points distributed to Democrats in both chambers urge lawmakers to reassure constituents that congressional Democrats are working to improve and not threaten the current U.S. health care system. The Senate Democrats" talking points memo states, "We cannot delay this discussion any longer," adding, "Health care reform is no longer just a moral imperative, it is a fiscal imperative. If we want to create jobs and rebuild our economy, then we must address the crushing cost of health care this year" (Rushing/Alarkon, The Hill, 5/23). According to the memo, health care reform will "reduce costs to make health care affordable," "protect a patient"s choice of doctor and insurance plan" and "assure quality, affordable health care for all Americans." The memo also encourages lawmakers to hold "health care reform action forums" during the recess with constituents. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) on Friday said that Democrats "have held more than 170 health care events in their districts already, with another 100-plus events planned for the Memorial Day district work period" (Friedman/House, CongressDaily, 5/22). In a memo by Democratic strategist Paul Begala that was distributed to lawmakers along with other recess materials, Begala urges Democrats to refer to Republicans as defenders of the flaws in the current health care system, including health insurers interfering with medical decisions and helping increase health care costs. He wrote, "There is one fact that animates the Republicans" strategy. It should animate yours, as well. That fact is this: The overwhelming majority of Americans support health care reform," adding, "If health care reform were unpopular, Republicans would not resort to misleading rhetoric to mask their opposition" (Politico, 5/26).Meanwhile, the Senate Republican Conference"s "Getaway Card" for the Memorial Day recess provides lawmakers with talking points about how health care overhaul should allow for all U.S. residents to have access to affordable health coverage provided by patient-selected physicians, avoid long wait times and be "patient-centered, not Washington-centered." The House Republican leaders are encouraging members to focus on Democrats" push for a "complete government takeover of health care," while characterizing Republican efforts as the right health care reform "that puts patients first" (CongressDaily, 5/22). The kit includes four pages of tips similar to recommendations made by Republican consultant Frank Luntz (Politico, 5/26). The New York Times Magazine on Sunday included an interview with Luntz that included his views on health care reform (Solomon, New York Times Magazine, 5/24). Advocacy Groups

Gender Difference In Heart Failure
Striking differences in the risk factors for developing heart failure (HF) and patient prognosis exist between men and women. Men and women may also respond differently to treatment, raising concerns about whether current practices provide the best care and reinforcing the urgency for sex-specific clinical trials for HF, according to a review article published in the August 4, 2009, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Discovery Of Relationship Between Napping, Hyperactivity, Depression And Anxiety In Young Children

Napping may have a significant influence on young children"s daytime functioning, according to a research abstract presented on Monday, June 8 at SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies. Results indicate that children between the ages of 4 and 5 who did not take daytime naps were reported by their parents to exhibit higher levels of hyperactivity, anxiety and depression than children who continued to nap at this age. According to lead author Brian Crosby, PhD, postdoctoral fellow of psychology at Pennsylvania State University, previous studies have shown that poor or inadequate sleep is linked with symptoms of hyperactivity, anxiety and depression; researchers involved in this study were happy to demonstrate the potential importance of napping for optimal daytime functioning in young children, as napping is often overlooked in favor of nighttime or total sleep. "There is a lot of individual variability in when children are ready to give up naps. I would encourage parents to include a quiet "rest" time in their daily schedule that would allow children to nap if necessary." The study included data from 62 children between the ages of 4 and 5 who were classified as either napping (77 percent) or non-napping (23 percent) based on actigraphy data. Napping children napped an average of 3.4 days per week. Of the sample, 55 percent were white-non Hispanic and 53 percent were male. Caretakers reported their child"s typical weekday and weekend bedtime/rise time, napping patterns, family demographics, and completed a behavioral assessment of the child. Actigraphy data for each child was collected continuously for seven to 14 days. Crosby hopes that findings of this study will encourage caregivers and other researchers to look at the ways napping impacts daytime functioning in children, as an optimal age to stop napping has not yet been determined.
