Reuters Health didn’t write the headline that appears in the AHIP Solutions SmartBrief e-newsletter, SmartBrief did. I don’t think I am making any “assumptions” at all. What I am saying is that the heading and the text on the article in the AHIP version of SmartBrief is a misrepresentation of the original scientific work. The many thousands of health insurance industry executives who read this report will be potentially misled by it as a consequence of the original Reuters Health report and the way that report is presented by SmartBrief. Are you suggesting that publishers of media services like Reuters Health and SmartBrief don’t have any responsibility for the accuracy of what they disseminate?

You are making several assumptions that are misleading. I know the people at SmartBrief. They are basically a newsclipping service for newsletters for various industries. Are you saying that this article was inappropriate for their newsletter?
