healthcare Reform: Of NICE and men

I have not chimed in about the healthcare ‘crisis’ but here is a sobering article from Wall Street Journal pointing out the rationing of care that may occur under the changes that might be voted in.

An article in the Stanford Magazine in November of 2008 pointed out that:

1. over 70% of people were happy with their healthcare

2. CEO of Safeway thinks that we need to consider legislature to make people who smoke and who are overweight must pay more for their healthcare.  He experimented with such a plan within his organization.

3. California’s experience and H. Clinton’s attempts point to the issues not being resolved in one feld swoop, but only through slow incremental changes.
