Hat’s off to you Hugh. I’ve been trying to think of a scenario where all three can apply, and they just can’t (Looking outise the US, there is the exception of people in the UK that don’t work – they get all three)… Great Bizcard.

Andy, I would argue if unemployed Brits get “world class” health care… A lot of it is good (like, if you have a broken leg), but a lot of the more serious stuff (like, really expensive cancer treatments) is highly rationed.

At the end of the day, the Brits have to confront the triangle, just like we Yanks do… And the more the population ages, the more bruising a confrontation it becomes.

…agree regarding the impact of the ageing population… It’s one of those issues like the environment or oil reserves that worsens just a little too slowly for any one govt/nation/generation to tackle it before the confrontation becomes bruising.

Not to get all political but I love people who think they’re not paying for their health insurance. Even if the company that currently employs you is paying for it, that’s money they could be giving you.

as they say , ”Lunch is never free.” Idk why we think that will ever change . The only way anyone ever gets something is if someone is giving . And if everyone is getting , then pray tell who is giving it ???
Oh , that’s right , Magician Obama is now in control . Miracles will now happen . Can’t believe I forgot that . . .

Hugh,
Loved your book! I think it’d be really cool if you did a biz card for a new pastor planting a church in NY. What’dya say?

All the best and continued success.

There is a corner not shown that would be something like “don’t change how health care is delivered”

As an example, http://www.ted.com/talks/thulasiraj_ravilla_how_low_cost_eye_care_can_be_world_class.html
