Sorry for the infrequent updates lately. I never should have said anything about not having much to do--now I'm running around frantically trying to gather research and informational materials for my interview presentation, plus put together a couple more classes and training sessions for other staff at work. Ack!

Interesting health care report on NPR early this afternoon. Apparently the United States, with it's private health care system, spends 31% of health care money on administrative paperwork. Compare this to Canada, with it's public system, which only sees 17% of health expenditures go to paperwork. The culprit? Your good old HMO. Now, repeate after me: government-run health care for the people is bloated, bureaucratic, inefficient, and communist. Government-run health care for the people is bloated, bureacratic, inefficient, and communist. Government-run health care....

Whatever.
