Buy Uninsured Motorist Coverage - Sunday, April 18, 2010

Uninsured motorist coverage is an optional automobile coverage that Florida law does not require drivers to purchase when they own a car. You can legally decline this important coverage, but that is a BIG mistake. Even in good times, estimates are that about 1 in 4 cars on the road in Florida have no liability insurance to cover injuries to others. Even more drivers operate their cars with very low policy limits that do little to compensate for serious injuries to others. In down economic times like these, even more drivers stop paying for liability insurance to save money, and Florida law does not require most family automobiles to carry liability coverage. So, when you renew your policy, be sure you protect yourself by buying uninsured motorist coverage.

Drug Makers' Studies Fraudulent - Sunday, March 28, 2010

A top researcher for drug makers like Merck and Pfizer, Dr. Scott Reuben, has admitted to faking studies on their medicines.

In some Celebrex studies, there weren't even any patients enrolled in the supposed studies. Unfortunately, fraudulent research has become business as usual in the world of the big drug makers. The result? Dangerous drugs enter the market so these drug makers can cash in, without proper testing and without proper warnings and labeling for patients and their physicians.
