The Public Option – The Solution
October 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment
So to start this post, let’s be completely clear, I am against the government getting involved in health care such as the Congress and Obama Administration are proposing. It seems to me that the big stumbling block is the public option, having the government run a health care company. The big fear is that if the government isn’t concerned about profits, they will drive the other health care companies out of business and so we will eventually have complete and exclusively government health care.
The main goal is 100% coverage for all citizens and I hear different numbers of the amount of people not covered but for the sake of this argument let’s say 30M citizens aren’t covered. Approximately 10% of the population. Open up the Public Option, Inc. and have that company capped at 15% of the population that can be enrolled. This will do 2 things, it will insure that 100% of US citizens are covered PLUS, since Public Option, Inc. can take an additional 15M customers from the insurance companies, they are going to have to become competitive, thus lowering insurance costs. Lower health care costs being the other key component of this health care debate.
From there, you can benchmark costs and if costs do not decline by X% then the government can cover X% more citizens AND if costs decline by a higher percentage, then the government can cover LESS people. So now you are linking the Public Option to Lower Insurance Costs while also covering 100% of Americans and putting the fate of the health care companies in their own hands.
Okay … Frischman for President!

Weekend Hacker

Just a note, when I say “weekend hacker” I am referring to my limited golf skills. I did shoot an 85 at a long, tough Parkland Golf Club this weekend so maybe the skills aren’t completely limited.
2010 Antivirus Software
October 2, 2009 · Leave a Comment
I am halfway through reviewing the new crop of antivirus software as most companies have released their products and there is one startling fact (okay, maybe not so startling), antivirus software products are all migrating to almost identical products. I mean, they all install focus on install and forget, the big names all protect the average user reasonably well and they all are much better on the installation process (a big problem in the past) when it comes to conflicting software.
The difference now is just price and support. Yea, I am only half way through and each product has its own features, but in general, the products are much higher quality than we have seen in the past. I am not sure if that is really a surprise.
I should have all the reviews done in the antivirus category for StarReviews within 2 weeks or so.
