On the shore dimly seen thro the mists of the deep,
Where the foes haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, oer the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
T is the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave!

MetroI4News.com - Private Health Insurance = Newspapers
Posted: 27 Jun 2009 09:52 AM PDT
http://www.metroi4news.com/2009/06/private-health-insurance-newspapers/
Billy Townsend - MetroI4News.com
For all its massive complexity and expense, the US health insurance model rests entirely upon a single, simply understood Jenga piece: the willingness of private employers to pay for private health insurance and eat its inefficiencies. Pull that piece away, and the whole system falls down in a mass of wreckage - affecting everything from public health to doctors salaries. In this way, private health insurance resembles nothing so much as the institutional newspaper industry, which also long depended on an irrational business subsidy. For years, newspapers managed to convince businesses - and classified advertisers - that they needed to use the newspaper to reach customers in their particular market. At the same time, newspapers convinced themselves that advertisers were paying for their vital community journalism. Reality, in its merciless way, with a little nudge from web technology, has greeted these twin delusions with, Uh, no and Uh, hell no. Continue reading Private Health Insurance = Newspapers
