Personal Politics
Last month, HHS secretary Michael Leavitt (or Mike, as he goes by in his
blog) posted a comment about the urgent state of Medicare, which accounts for 56 percent of the HHS budget. Left as is, Medicare is just 11 years from going broke, Mike pointed out.
And that's not the only issue facing the nation's healthcare system, as I'm sure you are painfully aware. With the remaining Democratic Presidential candidates descending on Pennsylvania in anticipation of our April 22 primary, politics are on the brain right now.
It certainly seems the upcoming presidential election is garnering more interest than usual, for a variety of reasons I won't delve into in this forum. My question to you is, how does your position as a healthcare professional impact your personal politics? Are you following the candidates' platforms in regard to healthcare policy?
