Preparing for Singapore

Published on March 17, 2010 in Travel. 2 Comments

As of tomorrow evening, I will be out of the United Kingdom until 10 April. This will embark a long nearly-full month of travel. The first leg of the journey will start heading out from London to Singapore. There, I will meet Bill and we will spend a few days there and then head to Bangkok, Thailand. (Yes, the recent political uprisings concern me). From Thailand we will make our way toward Vietnam.

Blogging will likely be scarce in this time period, but I should have some amazing pictures to post up afterward.

After returning from SE Asia, I’ll be in the UK for less than 24 hours and head to Italy for Paganello to play ultimate on the beach. That will last for several days, then I’ll meet a few of my flatmates and do a bit of travelling within Italy.

See you on the other side.

Paris – A Brief Overview

Published on March 15, 2010 in Sports, Travel and Uncategorized. 0 Comments

A week ago from last Thursday I took the Eurostar over to Paris for some sight-seeing and the Paris half-marathon.

I arrived several hours earlier than my friends travelling with me. I took this free time to check-in at the hotel and start wander around a little bit, one of my favorite travelling activities. The wander started with heading toward the Eiffel Tower and grabbing the above picture. After that, I’m less certain of my exact direction, but I took a good 3 hours and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the city on foot.

Health Care Battle

[Coburn and Burr's] own bill overhauls the tax code, currently stacked in favor of corporate employees, to provide a tax credit to every American to purchase insurance. It expands health-savings accounts. It creates state health-insurance exchanges, where private insurers compete to cover Americans, including the uninsured. (This is partly modeled on the Medicare drug program, which has provided seniors with choice and held down costs.)

More broadly, it seeks to reorient financial incentives so that the system is no longer focused, as Mr. Coburn puts it, on “sick care,” but on preventing the chronic diseases that eat 75% of health expenditures. These incentives would be used to lower costs and discourage insurers from cherry-picking patients. The bill also dives into Medicare and Medicaid reform.

Digging through my drafts and wondering whatever happened to this? With all of this talk of bipartisanship and summits in DC, it seems like a lot of good ideas from ages ago (last May) just went ignored.
