ASCs Champion Industry-wide Commitment to Delivering Quality Outpatient Care WASHINGTON, June 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As leading organizations representing the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) industry, we wish to address concerns raised in this month's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) highlighting data from a 2008 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) pilot study. The industry underscores its strong commitment to patient safety and its nationwide efforts to provide high-quality, patient-centered care at a low cost to the health care system.
CHICAGO - Should parents of extremely obese children lose custody for not controlling their kids' weight? A provocative commentary in one of the nation's most distinguished medical journals argues yes, and its authors are joining a quiet chorus of advocates who say the government should be allowed to intervene in extreme cases.

If a parent was starving a child, and you knew it, you would want the state to remove the little boy or girl to foster care, right? To save his or her life. It wouldn't just be a matter of food choices or parental rights. It would be a matter of safety, of life and death even. So why do we hesitate in the reverse, when the parent is overfeeding the child and the child's life is similarly in danger? The topic of parental rights and severely obese children pinched our collective nerve recently when an article was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association that argued that, in the most severe cases, where imminent threat of life-threatening complications is possible, removing the child to foster care should be considered.
