How do you mend a broken heart? Not by singing the rest of the song by the Bee Gees, that’s for sure.

One of the leading causes of death is still heart failure. Which is why improvements in heart transplantation and the development of an artificial heart have been high on the “to do” list for years. How many? Since at least when I began working on my artificial kidney about four decades ago.

Is this really about Obamacare (PPACA) or a backdoor entry to change how religion is dealt with in the workplace? I think it’s the latter, and that’s why the Supreme Court will be making a very narrow ruling in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores.
