He had a life of service, and faithful works.
When someone says one should be remembered as a servant of Christ, I look to his example within my lifetime.

Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures.
Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims.
