Title: RE: [ihc] RE: [egov] US Bill to sponsor interoperability in healthcare funding.
Peter,
Remember the tobacco industry - and a row of
company executives entoning before Congress - 'Nicotine is not
addictive'?
If you have not already seen it - check out the DVD
"Supersize Me!", and notice how he became to crave eating the fat and sugar
laden food that was making him ill - and felt a high when he did.
Then ask yourself - why are 60% percent of
Americans clinically overweight, and for some minorities this reaches over 80%
for members over the age of 30? Target - lower income brackets - mass
market.
50% of Americans used to smoke, with higher
majority in the low-income, lesser educated.
Errrr, Kimosabi, is there some correlation
here?
Just what additives are going into processed food -
and what are we not being told?

That would be "nationwide unhealthy service", no? or are
you really suggesting a national policy? The food giants actually working with
government in formulating unhealthy policy? Surely
not....

But some would argue that the US has the worlds
finest National Unhealthy services - and that
giant corporations are toiling night and day to
ensure citizen remain unhealthy so they
can exploit the situation for
profit.
Self-maintenance can obviously save you a bunch
of money here....

Doesn't want to
imply...that the US has a
national (read "public", certainly in Europe) health service? rather than a nationwide
health service...

Hi
Brett,
I believe it may simply be a
matter of semantics. The person who made the statement (or as I understand
the statement to mean) was Mary Forbes. She said that the name change was
made because they did not want to imply ______ (and it's that blank that I
don't recall).
Hope that helps - at least a
bit.

Hi Joe, I suppose that change means something, but I
don't know what it is?

I understand from yesterday's Data Reference
Model (DRM) Public Forum
that the National Health Information Network is
now going to be referred
to as the Nationwide Health Information
Network.
