这张照片最近在网络流传，苏格兰医生梅藤更查房时与中国小患者行礼，这一老一小，一医一患的相敬相亲，在今天的背景下，让很多人感慨。不过，作为一个西方医生，1881年来到中国时，梅藤更要面对的医患冲突，其实远大于今天。

美國健保改革須知
【華人醫務中心供稿】美國政府推出的健保改革『可負擔健保法案』(Affordable Care Act–ACA)于2013年10月1日在美國各州推出，主要針對年收入2萬元到9萬元之間、畏懼昂貴健保費而未購買保險的中產家庭，提供較為划算的保費和配套的優惠措施。「可負擔健保法案」將要求美國民眾都必須購買健保，但許多民眾因不熟悉法案內容進而忽視。ACA將要求保險公司不可拒絕已有病史的民眾，如癌症、長期病症患者，或孕婦等，且26歲下成年人可留在父母醫療保險計畫之下、30歲以下者可只購買意外或大病的保險計畫。

On this day, the California Senate overwhelmingly (27:9) approved SCA-5, which would appeal provisions of Prop 209 and allow the State of California to discriminate an individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.
An anti-SCA5 whitehouse.gov petition started on Feb. 16.
