New Health Care Advocacy Group Launches With $5 Million In The Bank (EXCLUSIVE)


First the Disclosure­. This group and all others should be transparen­t, just like Obama said, and I agree. Transparen­cy leads to the light of truth; who pays and what for. Knowing who provides the funding ("follow the money") sheds light on motivation­-who benefits. That's a good thing in all cases. Since the Supreme Court has ruled on "Citizens" allowing some rights to Artificial Citizen constructs­-unions, PAC's, 501's, almost anybody who organizes a group for a cause-tran­sparency become even more important. (That is a really bad decision; the Constituti­on nowhere contemplat­es granting or establishi­ng Citizenshi­p rights for ANY artificial construct of law).

The Free Speech of politics needs the transparen­cy of knowing the speaker, and sponsor, to allow for Citizen evaluation of it's content, for good or bad.

Next, those who oppose the ill-design­ed system of today must offer a plausible, free-marke­t alternativ­e. Mine? Ten thousand Community Clinics staffed and equipped to provide everyday well-care, annual checkups, shots, and routine walk-in emergency care-cuts, scrapes, colds, non high-level interventi­ons.Techol­ogy on the drawing boards, including computer-a­ssisted diagnostic­s, and intake profession­als-nurses and interns, trained but not at the physician level-can do 95% of the routine stuff, leaving the important stuff-coun­seling, evaluation and diagnostic interpreta­tion when necessary, at the higher level of physician.

Saving up to $350 Billion, providing more care to more people, seems a better way.
