our own system
Hi there, I'm Drew Weilage and I'm working to make healthcare better for patients.
This is a blog with links to healthcare goings on, trends, and uncategorized interestingness as well as attempts to filter my own healthcare thinking through essay.
I am greatly aware of my idealistic, naive even, views on a number of topics. But frankly, I think healthcare is in dire need of more of the "what's possible/what could be" type of thinking. I'm greatly protective of my unabashed idealism but always open to reason and discourse about any of it.
This is round two of my blogging life, the first being archived here.

News emerged over the last few days that the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy could very possibly go to a Republican in today’s election. That would mean the Democrats, who have needed all 60 of their Senate votes to pass health reform legislation, would be down to 59 seats.
While that doesn’t mean the end of health reform, it certainly would have repercussions. The outcome of the Massachusetts election will make the next 30 days very interesting.
You can tell from the graphs above how Wall Street feels: no health reform = good for insurance companies and bad for hospitals. No opinion from me here, just something interesting to note.
