If it's Friday, it's time to provide quick links to interesting stories from the world of corporate wellness that you might have missed.
1. The Wall Street Journal Health Blog had a good item about Sen. Hillary Clinton's plan to cap health insurance premiums. Interesting for employers to contemplate.
2. The New York Times' Tara Parker Pope has a fascinating post about people who are bullied at work by bosses and co-workers. Be sure to read the many fascinating--and scary--comments on this post.
3. The About.com Health Insurance blog has a fascinating item about the placebo effect and drug costs. Turns out that the more people think a pill costs, the more likely they are to recover from their condition. Combine that with an item about Wal-Mart's claim that it has saved people $1 billion by offering generic drugs for just $4 per prescription and. . .well, that's plenty to think about for the week.
In good health,
Fiona
