  4. An Rx for the doctor shortage

    New subsidies and insurance regulations in the 2010 healthcare law are expected to bring coverage to millions of uninsured Californians starting next year. The newly insured are likely to put a bigger strain on the healthcare system, particularly in their demand for primary-care doctors, of whom there are already too few in many parts of the country. That's why trained medical professionals who aren't physicians, such as nurse practitioners, want more freedom to deliver the care they're capable of giving than state rules allow. Lawmakers should give it to them.

  11. The numbers behind the decline in workplace benefits

    American employers are asking more from workers as they try to cut costs and become more productive to compete in a globalized world, as described in <a href=&quot;http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-harsh-work-20130407,0,7162845.story">a Los Angeles Times Sunday story</a>.
