Sunday

Hmmm...what to say when I have a lot on my mind....and not much of it's good? 

Decision...keep it upbeat.

1.  This is a marathon not a sprint.
2.  Last week's leadership theme was a lot about effective leaders being able to control their ego.  Let's just say I'm now getting to apply that knowledge. 

The course I am in now is "Health Policy."  Yesterday's seminar question was about whether health coverage for all will improve the overall health of the country.  After much debate, the concensus was "no."  Most of the funding for insurance coverage will go to "sick care" which will likely further rob any wellness programs that exist.

One point that I found fascinating was "within 5 years, 60% of each states budget will be going to healthcare.  Where will the money come from?  Most likely education."  Does this translate to a future for us where we will spend our money on addressing the results of our bad health habits all the while getting dumber and dumber as a nation.
