Small Businesses Fear Reform Could Worsen Rising Health Costs
"Many small businesses are worried that rising health insurance costs are choking their growth and hindering the creation of new companies, and they fear health care reform plans being debated in Congress and by the Obama administration could end up costing them even more in taxes, according to business advocates," the Baltimore Sun reports. Some of those views were collected in a survey released Tuesday by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. According to the survey 29 percent of [309] businesses were unable to offer insurance to their employees, and many said their health care costs had risen this year. "Rising health care costs are choking American small businesses just when we need them the most," said Nicholas Green, an organizer for the research group"s Maryland contingent (Sentementes, 7/22).

Abdominal Massage Shown To Benefit Constipation In MS

Trail results have highlighted the benefit of abdominal massage in the management of constipation - a common symptom in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). In the latest study, reporting in the International Journal of Nursing Studies, 60 people with constipation were split into two groups and given a combination of laxatives and abdominal massage, or were given laxatives alone for eight weeks. It was found that the group of people being treated with a combination of laxatives and abdominal massage had reduced severity of abdominal symptoms, including constipation and pain, than the group taking laxatives alone. The MS Society has recognised the importance of finding new ways to manage common MS symptoms such as constipation. Last year more than ÷£120,000 was spent on a project to help develop a better approach to managing a variety of bowel syndromes for people with MS and formed part of the MS Society"s Symptom Relief Research Initiative.
