H1N1 Spread Continues Worldwide; First Death In Asia Confirmed
The H1N1 (swine flu) virus has now infected more than 52,000 people, leaving 231 dead, the WHO said Monday, AFP/Washington Post reports. "Swine flu has now been reported in 100 countries and territories, and figures yet to be incorporated into the U.N. health agency"s official figures indicate an even higher toll," AFP/Washington Post writes, adding, "The WHO said, however, that its figures could not be considered reliable because some countries were no longer keeping total figures while other poor countries did not have the means to reliably detect cases." Since Friday, the number of cases has grown by more than 7,873 cases and 51 deaths, "highlighting the steady spread of the virus," the newspaper writes (AFP/Washington Post, 6/23).

AARP Endorses Bill To Crack Down On Medicare Fraud Bipartisan Legislation Will Reduce The Billions Lost To Fraud Each Year

AARP announced its endorsement of the bipartisan "Seniors and Taxpayers Obligation Protection (STOP) Act," sponsored by Senators Mel Martinez (R-FL), Bill Nelson (D-FL) and John Cornyn (R-TX). This legislation will help curb the billions of dollars spent on Medicare fraud each year. A statement from AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond follows: "The skyrocketing costs of health care are hurting our wallets and the bedrock programs like Medicare that millions of Americans depend on. That"s why AARP is working with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to reform the health care system-including cracking down on the fraud, waste and abuse that are driving up costs. "Medicare should be a leader in fraud prevention, but has too often been stifled by inadequate funding to detect and prosecute fraud. The bill introduced by Sen. Martinez and his colleagues boosts funding to crack down on billions of dollars in Medicare fraud and takes several common-sense steps to protect people in Medicare and the program itself. "AARP is proud to endorse the STOP Act, and we look forward to working with Sen. Martinez and other lawmakers to ensure that Medicare fraud prevention is included in comprehensive health reform."
