Please see the point of law reference:

“At Children’s Hospital, Boston, doctors vainly try in eight procedures to save 3 year old with heart birth defect, family awarded $15 M [Boston Globe via White Coat]”
What we know is that the people of Massachusetts are nuts!

Remember when the people of Minnesota elected Jesse Ventura, a wonderful but incompetent guy. The same with Schwarzenegger in California. Massachusettes has no monopoly on insanity.

The voters in the middle of the state, North and South Shores voted for Brown because they did not want to pay for National Health Insurance like they already have in Mass. This is proven by the fact that all the cities with state insurance clients went to Coakley.

Frank, may I suggest Firefox with the NoScript extension. It stops scripts quite well (and you can easily turn them on if desired). It makes web browsing much more pleasant and reduces bandwidth which is important for those on mobile wireless devices.

I accessed it a second time and there is an ad overlaying the text again but this time with a “close” button.

Is it only me or is it impossible to remove the ad over the text on the “Johnson and Johnson” story? What is the point in irritating readers who want to know the story but can’t read the text behind the ad?
