Health care costs, terminal illnesses with poor quality of life, and prolonging life in the U.S.
02/25/2012
The cost to Medicare of prolonging life when there is little or no hope and quality of life has deteriorated upto a point where the patient gains little from extending life for a few months. Estimates show a large part of Medicare, as much as third takes place in the last year of life, and a large part of that in the last month. With the option of cutting Medicare services or dismantling Medicare as it was known in the years since 1950 because of spiralling costs, this is an issue that needs to be addressed for Medicare solutions.

How doctors face the choice of prolonging life without quality
02/25/2012
The need to find closure to life in an atmosphere of comfort, peace and home, and how hospitals cannot provide this. The better choice of doctors who choose quality over quantity of life- when the odds of surviving move up dramatically, say from 5% to 15% by using technological advances, but are still very low. The issue is also one of spiralling costs for an aging populaton in the U.S., when one of the options being considered is dismantling of Medicare as it was known in the years since 1950, or cutting Medicare services when they are most needed.

On the campaign trail up close, at home and on the plane, with Rick Santorum. Santorum and his election bid built around family and working class Americans, whether Republican or Democratic. This is working especially in the rust-belt states of the midwest and northeast, including his home state of Pennsylvania, because of difficult economic times.

The American Supercommuter- a byproduct of falling home prices and high unemployment in the U.S.
02/23/2012
A byproduct of declining home prices and high unemployment in the U.S. is the rising number of supercommuters- commuters who drive or fly long distances to get to work. Sometimes this means living is Boston and working in Philadelphia, living in Austin and working in Houston, or living in Phoenix and working in Menlo Park, California. For companies the flexibility means not having to be stuck with homes in cities with depressed prices, and for employees not having to sell and move when kids are finishing high school.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
