that is the question!

Carol is not alone.

Carol is right, and Carol is not alone. Since Sen. Clinton's speech on health care this past week, I've spoken to several people who have voiced the same concern. While it's quite understandable, after the experience in '94, that she is careful not to go too far, many since then have come to the understanding that the greater risk today, some 13 years later, is not going far enough. This is especially true is we are serious about establishing an equitable, and truely preventive health care system. If so, we will need to leverage new information tecghnology, re-center the system around healthy homes, fully engage communities, and move away from intervention and toward information and 100-year-long (at least) lifespan planning records. Those are big ideas, and anything but incremental. What it comes down to is leadership, vision, and courage to change.
