THE PUBLIC PURSE -- Appendix -- Key to Abbreviations Used in the References -- References -- IndexIf national health insurance becomes a reality, what options should be considered for the coverage of prescription drugs? The authors--whose Pills, Profits, and Politics has had a dramatic effect on physicians, pharmacists, patients, and the drug industry as well as on federal and state legislators--insist that the major objective must be the best possible health care. But holding down costs to patients and taxpayers must also be a goal.   To complicate matters further, the advantage of each likely option--including price controls, the use of formularies, drug utilization review, patient cost-sharing, and the use of low-cost, generic-name products--is offset by a disadvantage, even a danger. If drug prices are slashed too much, the industry will lose many of its incentives to develop better drugs for the future.   Particular attention is focused on the so-called drug lag--the lengthy delays in licensing of new drugs, even after they have been used with apparently good results in other countries. Pills and the Public Purse also addresses the seldom-appreciated fact that investing tax dollars in needed drugs may save taxpayers in the long run by minimizing unnecessary physician visits and hospitalization.   Pills and the Public Purse challenges Congress and such agencies as the Food and Drug Administration and the Health Care Financing Administration to enact policies that put the interests of the public before those of government, industry, physicians, and pharmacists.  This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Crosby looks at how a religion based on the sacredness of nature deals with the problem of evil. Further developing and defending the vision of religious thought and life elaborated in his previous work, A Religion of Nature, Crosby explores how such a vision can enable us to interpret, respond to, and cope with the diverse forms of evil in the world, arguing that an ambiguity of goods and evils in human life, in nature as a whole, and in any conceivable or desirable realm of existence is inevitable. It is therefore futile to seek recourse in powers, presences, states, or realms thought to wholly transcend a combination of goods and evils or to be entirely devoid of evil. This being the case, the central problem of an adequate religious faith is how to live a constructive, meaningful life in the face of this intractable ambiguity. Religion of nature, as it is laid out and explained here, confronts this problem and offers a comprehensive, sustaining, and fully adequate way of conceiving and living a religious life.NatureReligious aspectsNaturalismReligious aspectsNatureReligious aspects.NaturalismReligious aspects.202/.12Crosby Donald A88096MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956188803321Living with ambiguity4368576UNINA01852nam0 22004573i 450 VAN0029878320251125111312.721N978303487591220250925d1999 |0itac50 baengCH|||| |||||i e bcrAbelian Groups and ModulesInternational Conference in Dublin, August 10–14, 1998Paul C.
