Washington AP reports researchers in JAMA say women develop cardiomyopathy with far less alcohol than men. The study warns light drinking may avert artery disease but heavy use harms the heart muscle, and women may die sooner if they exceed two drinks daily. Experts caution that women are highly susceptible to alcohol-related organ damage.

Medicare red tape cut for doctors
Vice President Al Gore announced major Medicare reforms easing attestation duties for doctors and hospitals. The plan saves physicians about 200,000 work hours yearly, eliminates 11 million forms, frees hospitals up to 137 million dollars and speeds Medicare payments by up to 30 days. Additional steps target lab inspections, office labs, insurer forms, and nursing home reassessments to cut regulatory burden.

Debating Move para AFL-CIO race faces split over interim pick
John Sweeney of SEIU proposed a debate if union presidents could vote on an interim successor to retiring AFL-CIO head Lane Kirkland. Donahue rejected the plan as unconstitutional, while Kirkland plans to step down August 1 and Donahue seeks a full two year term at the October convention. The federation’s executive council will choose the interim at the August meeting, but Sweeney urges all 84 unions to vote weighted by membership.
