The following story has been told in various incarnations for more than 40 years.
Once upon a time there was a man who ran a hot dog stand. This man ran one of the finest hot dog stands in the whole city and, strangely for a hot dog stand, he […]
Good grief, will the guys ever learn to keep their pants zipped?
Eliot Sptizer is just the latest in a long line political and business biggies to be ousted over sex actions of one kind or another.
I’m also wondering how many other patrons of this current sting will be outed. If he’s the only name made […]
Healthcare providers’ attitudes towards money often make my blood boil. It’s not just insurance and drug companies and hospitals, but the financial institutions that buy the debt of the un/under insured and then charge exorbitant interest rates on it.
Of course, it’s all excused in the name of capitalism and keeping investors happy, while their advertising […]
On the heels of Tuesday’s post I came to realize that every time I write about anything to do with healthcare I find more stuff that makes me want to scream and throw a tantrum. Rather than doing that (it upsets my cats and neighbors) I thought I’d let the steam off here.

The next response is from Al Negrin, a retired CEO whose career ran the gamut from giant multinationals to startups.
“First of all, to provide a social safety net of the type most European and Scandinavian countries do, it is necessary to increase taxes on both businesses and individuals. This of course is a disincentive […]
I constantly hear people say that they’d like what Europe has, but don’t want to pay the increased taxes, business or individual, necessary to provide it.I asked a friend who lives there and she says that it’s not that simple.
She explained that in fact, taxation in the US is higher in absolute terms, Healthcare costs […]
Healthcare is on everybody’s mind these days. In a recent conversation I had with KG Charles-Harris, CEO of startup Emanio, we touched on the possibility of a tax increase on business to fund health care.
