Austerity: The wrong, cruel solution is bunk
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
In a past consulting and academic life, I used to teach the importance of understanding root causes. The fixes, the solutions, necessarily had to match the problem. It’s pathetic to see how stupid we can act as a society. The austerity solution for the global economic crisis has lured politicians in much of Europe, Britain and the U.S. The attraction is that regular people are asked to sacrifice while campaign donors like the giant corporations and investment houses dodge any limits or give-backs. It all sounds so abstract and antiseptic until the real stories of sacrifice surface.

Dying Poor & Uninsured in America
Friday, July 3rd, 2009
The Institute of Medicine and the Urban Institute produced a report last year that tracked deaths attributable to being uninsured in America. In the latest year surveyed (2006) 22, 211 people died. Also we know that being underinsured can prevent getting life-saving treatment for diseases that insurers refuse to cover.
