  1. Beginning statins in the hospital after a stroke increases odds of going home

    Giving stroke victims cholesterol-lowering statins while they are still in the hospital increases the likelihood that they will survive the stroke and be able to go home, researchers reported Tuesday. It has been known that giving the drugs to a stroke victim lowers the odds of having a second stroke, said Dr. Alexander C. Flint, a neurologist at Kaiser Permanente in Redwood City, Calif. But it has not been clear how soon to begin the drugs after the initial stroke. The new report in the journal Neurology suggests that the drugs should be given immediately.

    SACRAMENTO — Gov.

  8. Healing Medi-Cal

    Like many states, California is struggling to pay for the health insurance it offers poor residents. The ranks of the Medi-Cal program grew by <a href=&quot;http://lat.ms/zgTU1P">more than 12%</a> after the economy tanked, and rising healthcare costs increased the fiscal burden. Making matters worse, state officials kept trying to solve the problem mainly by paying doctors less for their services and charging Medi-Cal beneficiaries more, ignoring the skewed incentives and inefficiencies in the system that were driving costs higher.
