Title: Bericht

Great idea. For everyone’s
information, DeLeys Brandman is supportive of a co-chair or replacement chair
for the IHC TC  Does anyone have any suggestions or desire to work in this
position?

I see this group is in a desperate need
for a face to face meeting with some spare time at the bar. No lack of subjects
there.

not wanting to kill any discussion, by the
way.

Sorry for the lack of e-mails from my
part. I had the introduction of the first national XBRL taxonomy overhere, a
trip abroad and day's with not enough hours. I will come back to the list with
some ideas one of these days

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.

 

Joe

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.
