The talk on the radio is speculation about the 2008 Presidential election and who will be players and what topics will move the public to the polls. A guest is making an educated guess that “immigration” will be the deciding issue three years in the future. He has a documented track record of taking polls and analyzing polls and projecting what the polls foresee. The next election will be about who is a citizen and what does citizenship mean.
It’s the warmest day of the year in Wisconsin so I grab my best kaleidoscope, wander outside, sit down and point it at the sky. As I twist the cylinder the translucent trinkets jumble around in reflectively multiplied colored patterns. At times I create brilliantly blue striated triangles with pure green centers, and at other times I create ruby red clusters flecked with diamond white insets. Each little motion in the progress of time changes the structure of the pattern. The next election will be about what can be done to keep me and my loved ones healthy and alive, and who pays price.
So let me tip the hat to Boots & Sabers for exposing the Dean Health Plan and WEA Trust Non-Compete Agreement. Once large pools of money are accumulated it is much easier to keep them intact if you don’t have to defend against predatory competitors.
“This is an email from an Account Manager at Dean Health Plan in Madison to a person at WEA Trust. In it is discussed the language of a non-compete agreement between Dean Health Plan and WEA Trust where Dean promises to NOT approach any school districts which currently use, or plan to renew with, WEA Trust.”The health care available in the United States is the best on the planet, and it achieved this level in large part because individuals and organizations can profit when they improve the results of medical treatment. Health care financing in America, however, is deeply flawed and wide open to political manipulation of human fears and desires. Both factions of the Democratic Party see this as their best hope back into power, especially if no one is checking the citizenship of urban voters.
