LOS ANGELES -- On Monday April 26, a panel moderated by CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo including executives and leaders including Michael Milken convened to discuss Health Reform in a session focused on "Prevention and Cures". The primary focus of the discussion was the need for government policy and health reform to address "wellness" and chronic diseases such as diabetes. One of the conclusions from the panel is that the healthcare reform recently been enacted into law is "uneconomic" and has put prevention and wellness on the "back-burner" even though unhealthy living represents a major  cost to society. A lingering concern is that we are a few years away from price-setting of medical products and services.

Don't you love it when two grown-up colleagues start calling each other names on their own broadcast? Steve Liesman and Rick Santelli really went after each other today. It all started when Liesman called Santelli "ignorant" and Santelli fired back for Liesman to "grow up."

Marc Faber, always worth listening to. This is from last week but still timely now that gold is down another $20... I'm looking to buy more around $1075.
