Hawaii's values, traditions can inspire a nation
When I set out to achieve universal health care as first lady back in 1993, I knew I needed to learn from Hawaii's pioneering example. So I traveled to your state and met with health care professionals and community leaders to discuss how Hawaii's approach to health care could be a model for America. I was greatly impressed by what I saw. I was impressed by your passionate belief that health care is not a luxury -- but a fundamental right. I was impressed by this state's proud progressive tradition and firm commitment to caring for all its citizens. And I was impressed by Hawaii's rich cultural heritage and breathtaking natural beauty. But I know Hawaii also faces unique challenges -- from education to energy to the economy. And the people of Hawaii deserve a president who won't just talk about solutions to those problems -- but will actually deliver.
Ruby’s Gems
When Ruby Yang spotted a Chinese restaurant near her Dallas hotel, she bought a large amount of takeout food. She was going to meet Yao Ming later that day, and something was cooking in her mind. The Houston Rockets centre was to appear with basketball legend Magic Johnson in a public service announcement (PSA) on fighting discrimination. During production, the power went off, and Yang, the director, floated an idea: Why not have Yao and HIV-positive Johnson share some Chinese food? That could dispel any stigma more effectively than anything. The two stars readily agreed; and Yao even did some improvising with his line to make it more natural. .
Daytona 500 Wrap
He's a perfect second or third driver to have in your lineup next to other superstars on your squad. Of course, there were several other prominent story lines in a Daytona 500 race that was every bit as exciting as hoped. There were 16 different leaders, the second most in the history of the Daytona 500. The 42 lead changes at the start/finish line were the most since 2001.The Car of Tomorrow certainly produced compelling racing at Daytona, and most drivers appear ready to meet the challenge of using it over a full season. We should see more races filled with lots of passing and lead changes in 2008. Yet there were other results from Sunday that left fantasy players either frustrated or disappointed, and must be addressed. .
BearingPoint Predicts Rapid Expansion Of Health Savings Accounts If ...
BearingPoint, Inc. (NYSE:BE), one of the world's largest management and technology consulting firms, eleased projections for the impact of the most widely touted health proposal across the presidential candidates' platforms - universal coverage - on multiple health constituents. Universal coverage as described in the presidential health platforms, is being applied in California and Massachusetts and requires coverage for all (or nearly all) residents through mandates or incentives, for insurance usually supplied through employers of all sizes. In application, this would increase the offering of high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) and their associated financial accounts. According to BearingPoint's forecast, the implementation of universal healthcare in the U.S. could further impact all health constituents, including increasing HSA projections beyond the current 2012 estimates of more than 20 million new accounts with more than $200 billion in assets.
