Dan Weaks advocates for the New Mexico Hospitals and Health Association. The following is from his op-ed in this morning’s Albuquerque Journal addressing Governor Richardson’s plans for health care reform.
"We have four home-grown health insurance companies that employ thousands of New Mexicans and contribute significantly to our economy and economic development. We need to nurture those companies as much as we need to recruit new businesses."
Well, obviously. Health care is a business, after all.
How old am I? I remember when it wasn’t.
And, funny, I cannot remember the vote. You know, when Americans decided to topple the medical profession and put our bodies in the hands of corporate operations run by MBAs and responsible to Wall Street?
Maybe you do.
