Now here’s the best of what YOU had to say:
- Medicare Advantage: A waste of taxpayer money. “I’d like to see Medicare costs brought under control, and so I applaud the reduction in [private fee-for-service] plans, which are a big waste of taxpayer money. I only wish the cutbacks went further.”
- Podcast: GE Healthcare’s eHealth VP Earl Jones on health IT politics. “The term ‘liberated information’ may sound like it was taken from a science fiction novel, but to General Electric’s Earl Jones, it’s a means to improve access and quality to healthcare while at the same time making it cheaper.”
- Stop blaming Big Tobacco for smokers’ decisions. “I’ve never smoked and I detest the habit…. Yet, I have felt for years that Big Tobacco is demonized by the press and the government as Big Scapegoat, and this blame shift has always troubled me.”
- Living on the streets: could love be the answer? “He had tears on his cheeks, and the woman was muttering, ‘You almost died,’ over and over. He was alive, truly, because of her.”
