If we have to have a Public/Private Hybrid Health Care System, I have an idea

OK, so the government takes over Primary Care, what an insurance company would call a Primary Care Physician.  This meas that the government role in Health Care is focused on Preventative medicine.  Private insurance would transition to providing care when and if a medical problem occurs, returning insurance to a state closer to their name implies, insurance against disaster, not providers of everyday care.

The insurance wins because it maintains a clear and delineated market base.

The people win because everyone is offered important routine and preventative care. The decision to carry insurance beyond this remains with every family/employer.

The taxpayer wins because we get routine and basic care out of ERs around the country, and better preventative care keeps some dire medical conditions from developing, saving lives and money.

See, I solved the health care crisis.  You're welcome.

Fun with Gavin

Me:  Gavin, please focus on completing the project.  We are so close to done, I can taste it.

Misses:  And it tastes good.

Gavin:  Like stroganoff?

Me:  Yes.  Victory tastes like stroganoff.

I miss my blog

I wish I updated more

Help

Ok, my wife is trying to kill me. So, just in case something untoward happens over the next few weeks, you will know why.

First, our week without children turns into a cleaning bonanza. Complete with trips to the dump, complete room rearrangements and a decision to switch our "den" and our "bedroom" rooms. Tons of work, little chance for rest.

Then, then. We finally get out here to West Texas. Beautiful. We drop the kids off at camp and begin our week of "reading" to prepare for Breadloaf. This morning, my wife asks, oh so innocently, "want to go for a walk?". Said walk turns into 2 and a half hours of pain, PAIN, as we climb a mountain. And we are in the Davis Mountains State Park, these are real genuine mountains.

I have no clue what tomorrow will bring. I will probably be told to jump out of a plane or something.

Testing yucku stuff

I think my site got hacked. Trying to clean it...
