Welcome

Over the years I have delivered hundreds of speeches all over the country but I have never had a blog.

Today that changes. I am offically launching my blog. This is a persoanl blog not related in anyway to any of my businesses or any companies I am associated with. The views expressed here are mine and mine alone.

As with my speeches I expect that my blog will be contraversial and may from time to time annoy or upset some folks. I apologize in advance and I hope those offended can get over it.

I welcome/encourage comments as I believe healthy debate is what makes this country strong. Enjoy!

American Hypocrits

I am confused and sad. All the polls for the last three years have shown the growing frustration and dislike the American people have for Congress. Actually, the approval rating for Congress is at 15% as of June. 9% was the lowest it has been in history and that happened late last year. Since 2012 we have averaged about 13% approval rating. I am one of those angry and frustrated Americans. The Congress has shown complete inability to conduct the business of the country and has bickered non stop since Obama took power. The have shown that their primary interest is their own political careers and not the will of the people. We are a laughing stock worldwide and this gridlock has affected our economy and foreign policy negatively. So here is the hypocrisy. If we hate the job the Congress is doing and we all agree that parties aside they are not performing to standards we the people have set, why don't we fire them? I just don't understand. We are a Democracy (really a republic...

A Better Medicare for All

The Democrats are spending a great deal of time promoting Medicare for All. There are now nine separate Medicare for All plans that are being considered. I have shared some information about those in a previous post and will update with more details as they emerge from the legislative process. When I look at this it seems so apparent that there is a much better way of doing what I think we all want. Since the politicians are completely polarized and entrenched in their camps it is unlikely that we will see a healthcare solution that is actually in the best interest of the American people. For those who have read my blog before you know this is always my focus and I could care less about either political party or their agenda. After spending 40 years in the US healthcare system I have seen a lot and learned a lot. When this concept of Medicare for All surfaced in the 2016 Presidential Campaign, I could not help but think that the proponents were missing the point. As I have said b...

The COVID debacle

Well its been a long time since I posted anything. Just been too busy with work. COVID 19 is here and I am so sad and disappointed about what the world has done. I have learned a massive lesson and not a good one. Actually we should all be very concerned about what has happened and I don't mean just the virus. So few disclaimers so I can avoid hate mail. I am deeply concerned about death - any single death. Everyone is a tragedy I am not a republican I am an Independent I have been in the healthcare business for over 40 years - so I know a fair amount I do not rely on any specific source for news - I verify everything myself Most of the stats I will quote are US based although I may add a few others In 2009 the world faced a pandemic called H1N1. It like Coronavirus was a virus with little or no data available. WHO declared it as a pandemic just as they did COVID 19. On the day that happened the worldwide reaction was very muted. In the US as a comparison the stock mar...
