Capturing thoughts

Thinking about the roles of CIOs, KMers, and the rest of us... What I see are people, managers and director primarily, who are working very hard to better their discipline within the organization. However focusing on the discipline promotes an attitude of exclusion and competition vice an attitude of inclusion and contribution. The former benefits the discipline, the latter benefits the organization.

Christmas tree @ the National Harbor

This was part of the light show to music that was at the National Harbor over Christmas. It was a beautiful display.

This is also an experiment in mobile blogging on a beautiful Saturday morning.

Getting around to learning how to mobile blog. Looks cool if I can figure it out.

So, what exactly needs to be reformed?

There is much cussing and discussing about "healthcare reform." But what really needs to be reformed? It is not the quality of our healthcare in the US, but the question is of access. However, our access to healthcare is uninhibited by emergency situations. The Hippocratic Oath, ethics, and generally our human nature will usually see to our needs in an emergency. The issue seems now to be access during normalcy. Access during normalcy is predicated on insuring good health.

So the question now seems to be in insurance of good health. The surety of your health begins with the individual, if the individual is of age, or with the parent/guardian if not. But of course we need advise and help from time to time, that is why we have physicians. Now the question appears to be who is best suited to help me insure my health and there is only one option being discussed: the federal government.

I ask this: who is best suited to help me during my normal daily life? A rich uncle thousands of miles away? or my next door neighbor? And who is best suited to help me in times of trouble, A rich uncle thousands of miles away? or my local community?

My personal physical protection works best when handled locally, shouldn't my health protection? And who locally is best suited for insuring such, a rich uncle thousands of miles away? Or my community church or help organization? Is not the original reason for the "separation of church and state" discussed by our founding fathers based on the fact the federal government had neither the capacity nor the responsibility for social welfare? And wasn't that the reason these organizations have tax exemption? And wouldn't it be better to be able to handle that locally?

So I suppose the issue is not healthcare, but insurance. And the question is to whom do you put your trust to insure you the healthcare that you need. Where is your insurance?

I'm just asking ...
