Thanks for so much Feedback

First, I want to thank all of our fans, and followers for so much great feedback on our blog, and what we say about health care reform, as well as the health care system including health insurance plans/coverage etc...so THANKS, it has been great to read, learn, and also be able to reflect on what assumptions some folks make based on their readings.

A few points of clarity, I as a specialist in this business for quite a long time have worked on and with some of the largest most complex businesses with their insurance woes (Like JPMorganChase, Scudder Kemper,even some of these mega-banks before they all merged)....I have also helped thousands of small businesses with their problems. So with that as a back-drop let me please clarify, my opinions and comments are based on lots of experiences, many years, things that have frustrated my clients and me, and also watching hours of debates from folks that I would deem to be way off "center" whether on one side of the political isle or the other. So with that said, I do not support what is on the table right now regarding Reform in its entirety as they are not talking incessantly and focusing on the real problem....THE WHOLE SYSTEM. Again as i blogged last time, I do believe we need to be accountable for researching our health care options, but we also need all of the stats to make informed choices...that is where technology is severely lacking from insurance carriers and providers (who need to get hooked up) - if I have ready data regarding the physicians that have performed thousands of ACL reconstructions (knee injury) have great rehab and success rates, low infection rates, and low recurrance of injury, and charge a fee that is reasonable (as it would be great to compare his/hers with a few other docs stats, and fees) than why in the world would I go to the "goon" down the road who charges double, screws me back together terribly with rapidly approaching arthritic symptoms and chronic pain, and ba-bing, I blow it back out running up steps to catch a train....SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE FOLKS. That is the "corner of the mouth" statement Obama says about "evidence-based medicine." That is the problem with health care, and rising health insurance premiums. Billions of waste in the system.

Somewhere we have "learned" that a person with a Harvard medical degree or Harvard Business School degree (or Stanford, Duke, Michigan, Columbia - so we do not just pick on Harvard here) is practically a law-abiding "God" who can't have criminal intent....I have read now for 2 years in the WSJ and other papers about what I would basically call criminal as far as the crap banks swapped with each other under the covers, so all parties could make repeated fees on the same crap and almost cripple the entire world economy.

I could talk for hours, and hours on this, and as someone educated in this field, who supports a capitalistic society, happens to own and operate a business, has four children of his own with his wife, has friends, parents, in-laws, nephews and nieces, likes the outdoors, is active, tells a funny story here and there, is not a staunch "anything political", and just basically thinks we need to get the healthcare system updated with good technology that supports paying for things that "work", I rest my case.
