Kathleen O’Connor, health care industry analyst and journalist, founded
CodeBlueNow! upon the belief that the public has a right to be involved
in creating its own health care policy. Involved in healthcare for 30 years, she
shares her unique ability to communicate current health care topics in
a language everyone can understand.
If you have health insurance, please be sure and be thankful for that, because costs went up again last year to almost $8,000 a person, according to a study by Mercer.
Premiums have gone from nearly $700 for a family in 2000 to nearly double that $1100, in 2007.
But, we don't need more numbers to tell us we're heading in the wrong direction, we need to find others who want to find common ground, build consensus and get to system change.
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing." We must be the wind for change.
Happy Thanksgiving! Kathleen
