Greetings:
Do your students have ideas about reforming the health care system?
One alternative to spending more money is described at the Wellness
Center--comments are welcomed from list members, students and everyone else.
Comments can be posted at the site (see message board) or sent directly to
me.
The free service for empowering students and others offers daily
essays. A partial sample of today's essay on the topic of system reform is
appended, below. There are nearly 250 such essays archived at the site,
easily accessible under the three domains of wellness by 14 skill area
topics. See the “Daily Report Archive” by topic or by date at the bottom of
each day’s essay. There are interviews with Sol Gordon on sex and
relationships, Deb Jones on Canadian workplace wellness, Deb Gauldin on
wellness entertainment, Izzy Gesell on gender differences and other
obstacles to good communications, Kenneth Cooper on aerobics and President
Bush, David Haber on the need for a U.S. Wellness General, Leigh Farnell on
the Megaperformers Conference, Julyan Lee on "Six Thinking Hats," Bill
Carlyon on doublespeak in health promotion, Judd Allen on healthy cultures,
Bill Hettler on criticisms of the National Wellness Conference, Grant
Donovan on challenging mindsets and Michael Peterson on the quality of work
life. In addition, I’m interviewed by students at Minnesota State
University--Mankato about the great and no so great issues in the wellness
field. As if this were not enough, the Wellness Center now offers an
interactive wellness message board with all kinds of interesting topical
threads, including great issues in health education. Also, a wellness
resources section with recommended websites and conference listings,
recommended wellness initiatives to combat fraud on the internet, bargains
on quality wellness products and more.
Hope you enjoy your visit.

Don's Daily Report for today:
The Best Health Care System Money Can't Buy -- The Need
What would the best possible health system affordable to American
taxpayers look like, if there were a clear consensus by all the warring
parties to bring it about? It probably won't surprise you to learn that I
have an opinion on this matter and am only too willing and anxious to share
it with you. (more)
