"Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering what
average opinion believes average opinion to be..."--John
Maynard Keynes, British Economist
Until some years ago I would streamline everything, I would have
a job to do and I would streamline it making sure there wouldn't be
any repetitive or duplicate work, and the job would be well
documented so that it could be maintained for any future need.
Today, I don't streamline anything and I tell my sons James and Rico
to be redundant in their life as life is really a metaphor of
metaphors, the more metaphors you can make about anything and the
happier everybody is.
Therefore, there is no quick fix for anything which is wrong,
what is needed is the opportunity to understand and learn as many
metaphors as possible. Our health care system is eroding and Premier
Ralph Klein of Alberta has his own plan to fix it and Premier Lorne
Calvert has another plan to fix it, and in the meantime Roy Romanow
is touring Canada and the world to come up with the best health care
model to fix our health care system. The major focus of all the
proposed quick fixes for health care is more money from Ottawa and
the degree of privatization.
The "Wellness" health care model implemented by Roy Romanow in
Saskatchewan didn't work, and therefore our health care gurus have
invented the new promotional term "primary health care." Roy Romanow
will be entertaining a dialogue with all Canadians through the
Internet and special evidence based surveys will be prepared where
respondents will key their answers on a scale one to ten, one being
"I absolutely agree" and ten "I absolutely disagree." Roy Romanw's
final report will be wrapped up with the Canadian flag, would
include the evidence based average and standard deviation for each
question of the surveys, and would be marketed under the inventive
name "primary health care" for all Canadians.
