Health Care Reform

Discovery Communications Wellness Center Medical Director Liz Sequeira discusses symptoms with patient Bonnary Lek (L) at the clinic in the Discovery headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland December 3, 2009. Sequeira says seeing patients in her office at Discovery Communications Inc's modern headquarters is like stepping back in time and being an old-time small town doctor. Her clinic off the airy lobby serves as many employees' first stop for blood tests and medication. As Democratic lawmakers in Washington inch ahead with plans to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system, companies like Discovery are striking out on their own -- whether through on-site doctors or diet plans -- to rein in soaring costs in a nation where employers still pay for the bulk of medical care.
