The California Budget Crisis
Tweet Share on Facebook July 23, 2009 Comment (4)California can't get out of debt by borrowing ["California's Budget Deal a Win for Conservatives," usnews.com]. The state needs to do the same thing families do. Stop spending, pay the bills, and get a second job. At the state level that means the politicians should put the future of California ahead of their own interests. They need to make hard and unpopular choices. They need to cut the spending and raise the taxes. By borrowing to fix the problem they and the governor are just pushing the problem down the road to be addressed again next year when it is worse.

Cutting Health Insurance Costs
Tweet Share on Facebook July 22, 2009 Comment (8)Why not address transparency on what the procedures cost [Why Rush Health Reform? Let's Fix Insurance First? usnews.com]? This will go a long way to reducing healthcare costs, making it more competitive. If I do not like what I have to pay for a procedure, go somewhere else. When I take my dogs to the veterinarian, I find out what the costs are, and one is given options for treatments. This is particularly the case when going to a veterinary teaching hospital. The attending vet will discuss the various treatments, pros/cons and costs. You know what you are getting into. This is exactly what needs to be done for human healthcare.

Sarah Palin's Cap and Trade Op-Ed
Tweet Share on Facebook July 21, 2009 Comment (10)I read the Washington Post op-ed piece by Sarah Palin, and I must say, I found it extremely light weight ["Palin Showing Her 'Serious Side' With Obama Critique," usnews.com]. Short on fact, long on assertion, I would have called it a rant not a critique. There are serious issues facing our country and although I sympathize with the need of the Washington Post to sell newspapers, there are plenty of people who know more about the topic of energy independence than Sarah Palin, and all in all I would rather hear from them.

Reacting to the Best Hospitals Rankings
Tweet Share on Facebook July 17, 2009 Comment (2)The dedicated professionals at Vanderbilt saved my life ["America's Best Hospitals: the 2009-10 Honor Roll," usnews.com]. Healthcare consumers should know that if they may have an unusual problem they are going to get the finest care in the world at a teaching hospital such as Vanderbilt or the other superlative hospitals on the honor roll. None of these institutions is perfect but they try. My care team is among the finest people I have ever met!
