Discrimination in health care
Article Abstract:
Despite advances in medical equality that came with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 there still appear to be discrepancies in health care delivery by race. Health care providers should be the leaders in addressing this and underlying issues. Discrepancies between the races have been seen in access to advanced heart procedures and extended nursing care and types of treatment for prostate cancer and amputations. Differences in health care delivery have also been observed for poorer populations. Access to insurance coverage may be only one of many underlying issues that need to be addressed to bridge these inequities.

Dealing with debt
Article Abstract:
Architectural firms in the UK should take care to ensure that they can spot a possible debt crisis at an early stage and take action to avoid it. Indications of potential difficulties can include the inability to provide in advance for tax and VAT liabilities, high levels of borrowing on credit cards and small loans and failure to operate effective management accounts, bringing about over-optimistic anticipation of profits. It is vital that professional advice is obtained as soon as a serious problem occurs.
