The Obama-sponsored health care reform is one of the largest social legislation changes in decades. As in any major political change, people often wonder how it will impact their lives. School administrators and students are no different. Some of the largest changes in the health care reform bill include eliminating denial of coverage for preexisting conditions, an end to lifetime insurance spending caps, and small business tax employee health insurance tax credits. But what has some people in the health care industry worried is the health insurance mandate. Beginning in 2014, Americans will be required to obtain health insurance, or face a penalty. Generally, most Americans will continue to receive health insurance through their employers. However, those who are self employed, or working part time, will be forced to purchase insurance. Those significantly below the poverty line, will receive their insurance from the government via an expansion in Medicaid. A fear is that the potential difference between what a procedure costs and what the government is willing to pay might have a negative impact on the income of health care professionals. “There is a tendency of the government to say ‘We’ll only pay this much, period,’” said Dr. Linda Roberson, a biology professor and member of Lipscomb’s Health Professions Advisory Committee. Roberson noted that people see how high their doctor bill is and forget the doctor’s costs. These costs include paying staff, overhead, school loans, and malpractice insurance that has skyrocketed as a result of frivolous lawsuits against doctors that are currently so popular. Also, the opportunity cost of many years of schooling is quite high. With the amount...

Physics students and professors were outside of McFarland on Friday making ice cream in a rather unusual way. In honor of national physics day, students and professors were mixing cream, sugar, and milk with three different flavors. However, instead of using a traditional ice cream maker, they just poured liquid nitrogen into the bowls to freeze the mixture. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., anyone could get a free cup of their choice of chocolate, caramel, or vanilla ice cream. A variety of sprinkles were also available. Christopher Martin, a junior biomedical physics major from Rochester Hills, Mich., was making liquid nitrogen ice cream before lunch. Though Physics Day was actually on Saturday, he was glad to be celebrating early. “We actually get a whole week,but we just throw an extra day in there to show our dominance over all other sciences,” Martin said. Dr. Alan Bradshaw, a physics professor here at Lipscomb, was bringing out the liquid nitrogen and helping to make all the ice cream. “The Society of Physics students wanted to have a celebration,” Bradshaw said. “What better way to celebrate on a hot day than with ice cream? We just have a unique way of making ice cream.” Conveniently, as the ice cream melted on this hot afternoon, more liquid nitrogen was added to keep refreezing it, but the consistency and taste never changed, no matter how many times they refroze...
