EconomicsUSA: HealthCare: Prez's new healthcare webs+t, for the masses?
With a low-bowing Hat Tip to Information Week for the iconically exemplary logo graphic. It arrived on my desktop in my email Inbox. Semiotics analysis: Note the soothing colors -- Blue is the Virgin Mary color and the sky color (at times and places). It comes with an underline in the graphic, which m+t indicate semiotically that perhaps the digital sign that a live-link is present here, as I make this blog-entry. If so, I plan to press that problematized underline, it being at least a come-on or if it be instead a payoff infodoor, I will press/click the underline as soon as this line of text is itself complete.) ........
returning after a minute or so: I pressed the underline and nothing happened ......
I find the layout, design, and news reportage of this page to be excellent.
Taking into account the content of the InfoWeek report by Elizabeth Montalbano on July 1, here we are now receiving word of the Prez's recess-appointment of a new head of Medicare and MedicAid, Donald Berwick, a full medical doctor, and a fullout set of whacko medical-empire ideas -- "his talk about rationing, his discussion of health reform as a matter of redistributing wealth, and his effusive praise for the British system. If the president wanted to buy a fight like this, he ought to have been better prepared to wage it" (WaPo columnist Marcus, Jul 8,2k10) Obama's cynical recess appointment of Donald Berwick. -- no pause to cry over spilt milk; now its Berwick's job, nothing wrong with Presidential gaming the Senate whose committee badly wanted to examine hotshot Berwick. Anyway, Berwick in his nu spot -- what's the title? -- medical enforcer for the fed USA govt's nu ObamaCare(s for U)?
But, reverso, rather revolutionibus planetarium moralis, when the nu law is to be enforced, the stage will come in its periodicity when we have a Doctor of Public Medicine who wants maximal entitlements for everything medical (it woud seem, but wait).
Yet the Congressional experts on the subject matter were not permitted to hold confirmation hearings. The Prez waited until the two Houses of Congress had gone into recess and entered into a bit more the recession of their constituents, the Senators (100, 2 from each of the 50 states) and Representatives (c. 435) who coudnt confirm this Social Medicine whacko doctor, coudnt confirm or refuse confirmation because the Prez wanted this guy, this guy of all the doctor whackos grasping for the reins in the ObamaCare law enforcement. At the reins in order to drive American public health in a certain direction, I woud add, in the direction of the preferential option for the poor and of community organizing a coalition majority of nonwhite ethnic forces of different origins -- American Blacks (or Afro-Americans) and Hispanics, legal and illegal (or la Raza to which nu SCOTUS judge Sotomayor belonged/s?) . And others. As the Obama govt woud have it, The full list must not be seen as favouring any specific demographic groups in which people can have deep emotional investments of personal identity.

Still, in the immediate almost astrological situation:
That's the second trajectory and it intersects with the first mentioned (below) -- namely, transparency. See Elizabeth Montalbano's report below:
