...more control patients have over their own care-the more they know, the more involved they are in the design of their care-the better. We haven't even begun to plumb the real potential of patients who have been taught how to become their own physicians (to the extent that they want to). Despite the rhetoric, most people can't even get access to their own medical records, and it's often next to impossible to find data on how one's own hospital or physician performs compared with others.

"Unfortunately, the security situation doesn't allow us to follow up on this." The U.S. State Department's June 2005 trafficking report says the extent of the problem in Iraq is "difficult to appropriately gauge" but cites an unknown number of Iraqi women and girls being sent to Yemen, Syria, Jordan and Persian Gulf countries for sexual exploitation.
