Push to create bald Barbie to support cancer patients
Posted: 01/11/2012
There is a new push to create a special Barbie doll to show girls and grown ups alike that bald is beautiful.
A new online movement is pushing Mattel to come out with a cancer Barbie.
7-year-old Kaylee Rider of Texas and her mom are on board with the idea.
Kaylee is battling cancer for the second time. The one part of treatment that was particularly rough for her was losing her hair.
If Mattel agrees to make the bald Barbie, the people behind the campaign hope the company will donate at least some of the proceeds to Saint Jude's Children's Hospital.

What could cut health costs?
If doctors and patients used prescription drugs more wisely, they could save the U.S. health care system at least $213 billion a year, by reducing medication overuse, underuse and other flaws in care that cause complications and longer, more-expensive treatments, researchers conclude.
