Re: Running With the Wolves, Consumer Driven Healthcare

[Guest guest]

From Drain, Oregon,

Thank you for noting that Herzlinger's ideas are not necessarily good for the consumer. Please note, too, that this term "consumer-driven healthcare" is another one of those

language framing terms, which really means something else entirely. You know, if a Republican wins over a Democrat in an election campaign there has been a "voter revolt" and the suggestion that we start selling rights to pollute is the "clear skies" initiative.(Lakoff, G "How Liberals and Conservatives Think" 1997)

If we are going to run with the wolves on politics, I think we should read the signs on the path.

Rurally yours
