Health Care reform doesn't stop with insurance:
Case in point: when I got my seasonal flu shot last week, I asked the doctor about getting the H1N1 vaccine. He indicated that he has not been getting good info from any of the health agencies; he didn't know when or where the vaccine would be available or how much would be around. Turn that around and ask yourself if what he sees in his practice is getting reported properly. We really need to tie our front line family doctors and general practitioners into the public health system much better.

I'd love to see patients tracked through the system with the same care Walmart gives a $10 radio.
