A doctor operating as a businessman.<br /><br />One of my main problems is that, as of last year at least, a lot of the details of HCR hadn't yet been defined. That's how things like the 1099 requirement (hence repealed) get into HCR. In other words, they know what they want to accomplish but they have no idea how they're going to do it - a pesky detail left for later.<br /><br />That's as much of your bait as I'll take ;-)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038956427789115440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-80409054092600332072011-06-13T22:16:03.489-05:002011-06-13T22:16:03.489-05:00John -- healthcare is a mess and going to get wors...John -- healthcare is a mess and going to get worse. Maybe I'm throwing raw meat into the den but, my sister's point was "why should I pay a lot of money for a company-wide policy when the gov'ts fines are a lot less."<br /><br />Also, look for mass exodus of age 50+ MD's after 2014. Ain't no way they're gonna make the transition.<br /><br />If you were to force me to bet, I'd bet the surface tension is released at some evaporation point and the droplets diffuse.

Part of me thinks the surface tension would hold them together so they'd shrink to nothing while another part thinks they'd shrink and then get unstable and fall apart.<br /><br />Chuck Jones' work is wonderful - simplicity hiding complexity, humor hiding intelligence. That's why I collect his work.<br /><br />Healthcare is a terrible mess because the gov't decided to get involved.

Fascinating video.<br /><br />I spent my life working with graphic artists.

Best company culture I've had.<br /><br />JavsScript does seem to be gaining traction with libraries like jQuery. I would be interested if you find the book useful. The one I have from O'Reilly, arguably an old edition, is an example of what I hate in technical books: page bloat from an urge to document <i>everything</i>. Of course, I think, Kernigan + Ritchie's "C Programming Language" is the ideal model: show me the syntax, give me some good, working examples, and I'll figure out the rest.<br /><br /><br />I leave you with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/briankusler/2338265268/" rel="nofollow">the bacon bra</a>.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385180214495398029noreply@blogger.com
