Most are awating the outcome of the inevitable changes to the tax code, the health care and cap and trade legislation. I haven’t seen much of an upturn with my business clients.

Is anybody seeing an upswing in their respective niches? Health reform seems like a mess. I generate long term care insurance leads and annuity leads for the insurance industry, but volume has been terrible in the last two months. I am afraid the worst is yet to come, but maybe it is just my attitude. It seems like business is still getting hit hard. Is anybody seeing an upswing in their respective niches?

However it takes not away the outrageous prices we still pay for healthcare in general. Especially the pharmaceutical industry. Also the FDA does nothing to really protect the citizens against big pharma and also for that matter the food industry. The food industry had lobbied so much that they are allowed by law to slowly poison the population. Key is to increase awareness among the public about the deciet in big pharma, the food industry (meaning the big industries)and the criminal activities in washington itself. The problem lies not only in the spendage of the money in "health"care but spending it on a system that cures nothing but is the number one killer in the country. Money again rules and as long as that not changes, no system will make a difference. If implementing this system leads to more responsibility from the consumer then that is one plus.

I have no choice. Most employees already have some form of private insurance and some get healthcare at the VA. Some are on a family policy paid for by the spouse’s employer. Employees loose the freedom of choice they have now to self insure or to not have insurance. But life will go on. Five years from now, everyone will learn that the key to this is not to get sick. I have heard that Canadians have learned to do everything in their power not to go to the emergency room. Dan I will be passing along the cost to employees. I have no choice.
