Sorry .... been BUSY!!!! plus thoughts on health care

Keeping up a blog requires time and discipline.. that's why I admire Dan Smith so much for doing such a great job with his. Its been a while since I blogged.

Anyway, I was pleased to give a workshop on freelance writing this past week and hope others will attend the monthly sessions being put on by the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge.

I am also pleased to join Chris Manning's new Vinton Voice weekly as a senior contributor. I've missed Vinton since I left the Messenger. Look for it starting next week.

Thoughts on health care debate: My only problem with all the people railing against health care reform is this... WHAT is your proposal? How about the extra $1000 a year one study says each of us who has insurances winds up doling out annually to cover those who don't have it?

Why do we spend much more GDP-wise than other industrialized countries on health care, hey such a large percentage of people are not covered?

Why do we spend much more GDP-wise than other industrialized countries on health care, hey such a large percentage of people are not covered? What about the costs to businesses every year to cover employees, which they are obligated to do as a benefit? If some don't like the reforms proposed ... than WHAT are they proposing?
