"What do people really think about health care reform? When political issues are difficult and complicated, published polls sometimes confuse rather than enlighten the debate. And health care reform is fiendishly complicated, with many different issues and many different proposals for addressing them. No wonder that the debate is generating more heat than light. This is surely one of the times when political leaders should lead rather than follow public opinion. As Winston Churchill once said, “The problem with politicians who keep their ear too close to the ground is that it is difficult to look up to them in that ungainly posture.”

Was looking at the topic of medical data mining/health care data mining and came across this.

Also noted that HIPAA occurs in HR3200 at page 62. Am wondering about HIPAA regulations/law being violated by HR3200

Privatization + Inter-State Sales + Individual Policies + Tort Reform = Healthcare Reform

What do People Really Want?

Life with no inconveniences and no personal costs. Guarantees that nothing bad will ever happen to them. Assurances of health, wealth and happiness.

At this point, all I want is TORT Reform. If that doesn’t take care of most of the problems we can try other things, but only one at a time.
