Dear Tribune Editors:
Thank you for Helen Evans’ “What Michael Moore left on the cutting room floor” commentary. The healthcare issue in the United States is far too complex to find a solution in a Michael Moore documentary, especially when it only shows the sales pitch for the English healthcare system and not the grotesque underbelly of long waiting times for treatment and a system where really only the wealthy receive appropriate care.
As a hospital administrator attending an Executive Program at Kellogg School of Management recently, I was surprised by one of the other attendees, a cardiologist from Spain. For the first three days of the course this Physician berated the American healthcare system repeatedly. On the fourth day I confronted the physician and asked him why then would he attend a course taught in a well respected branch of a United States’ institution, Northwestern University.
“Because,” he said. “Without American research and development the rest of the world would suffer.” His message was clear, while our healthcare system is flawed and in need of a massive overhaul, the money and resources devoted to the advancement of healthcare in American is unprecedented world wide and without it, the state of healthcare in every corner of the Earth would be far worse off.
Sincerely,
Tim Egan
Vice President & Executive Director

Hi, I was browsing the Web and came accross your site. I am pretty new to blogging and everything but it seems pretty fun. Great blog. Well, keep on blogging! I just to explore my old city with tradition life. See you there...

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn 8 cents for that: I would feel happy if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
