Reality usually sets in sooner or later, huh? Nothing wrong with a "we get it" message in the marketing, as long as you back it up.

"It ain't braggin' if you can do it," right?

Was in Barnes and Noble this morning and on the display table was "A Whole New Mind" by Daniel H. Pink. I readily noticed that TP had written a blurb prominently displayed on the cover. And if I'm remembering correctly, I believe that I read a Cool Friends Interview here with erik. I flipped through book before purchasing it and landed on the section about empathy which distinguishes between men and women.

Pink writes:

"Who's more empathic? Men or Women? The politically correct answer is to say neither-that empathy depends ont eh individual. (PaulH - This response sounds like you. :-)) But a growing body of research has begun making that politially correct view untenable. Dozens of studies, for instance, have shown that women are generally better at reading facial expression and at detecting lies. Even as early as age there, girls are better at inferring what others are thinking and divining emotions from the expression on someone face."

Great book! I'll have it read by tonight.

When HMOs were brought about, this was an incremental step forward. Because of regulations, it could not be transformed into a "multiline" business concepts as it successful happened in some countries of the Western Hemisphere. It's needed a total revolution in healthcare. I favor 150% universal coverage. It can be done with the concurrence of public, private and NGO sectors.
