		<description>hi alford.  this response addresses both your new model for medicine and your failing health care reform articles.  as with any cycle of abuse, the individual having the experience is the only one who can change that dynamic.  not the goverment or the ama or any other organization or individual, therefore, i don&#039;t believe that there can be or should be a new medical model.  i think that in order for true change to take place we have to express a model of wellness.  we are not going to change those who can only see the way they have always seen.  that energy would best be used by giving people a new perspective of them selves and their world and let the old system do whatever it is going to do.  in this way of thinking we can actually and truly offer a solution.  wellness.  a medical model should not and would not be the first thought for people who are well.  
i work with more and more young people, who do not see themselves and their health as something inevitable.  they, at these young ages, have already decided that they are not working for a job just because of medical benefits and they have decided that they are not wearing depends and giving all of their power to something outside of themselves such as illness.  they are witnessing their parents and grandparents in horrible circumstances because of their failing health.   so, my point is, things are changing. not the new medical model, but us.  by the time these younger generations are grown we will have a my more empowered people who can make true changes in the world because they are well and strong and clear.  i for one, chose to continue to empower these others and help them to see the truth of who we are and what we are capable of and isn&#039;t that going to guarentee change?  when we are powerless, everything is bleak and blurry, but when we realize how strong and powerful we are EVERYTHING CHANGES.  this will be the result of taking responsibility for our own bodies and our own health and our own choices.</description>

		<description>Hey Alford,
I believe the collective conciousness needed to alter the individuals behaviour in our country may come from two sources.  One source would be from a charismatic leader (like president Obama) recognizing that the nation&#039;s health care dilemma poses a &quot;clear and present danger&quot; to our national &quot;security&quot;.  In responce, he would make personal health a civic responsibility...thereby deputizing all citizens to &quot;do their part&quot; for their country. 
The other (and more likely scenerio) involves hitting people in their pocket book when they engage in unhealthy behaviors.  In my experience, the only way people will consistently do the right thing is when they are financially rewarded for it.  A good example is the spike in small, hybrid car sales after gas rose to $4.50/gallon.
There was a great article in in the Wall Street Journal recently that dealt with this very issue.  The CEO of Safeway (the grocery store chain) wrote an article in the opinion section describing how his company has succeeded in developing a SUSTAINABLE health insurance model for it&#039;s employees.  Their approach is similar to Auto insurance.  People with multiple accidents or tickets will be asked to pay more for insurance.  All employees at Safeway start out at the same premium.  Discounts are given for low BMI, Low cholesterol, Low BP, Etc.  If an employee&#039;s LDL is high, he is given 6 months to a year to lower it.  If he reaches that goal, his premiums drop.  With this model, not only has Safeway been able to keep their health care costs stable over the last 5 years (should I repeat that!), but it&#039;s employees have embrased this approach as well.  
It just proves the point that one of the main ingredients in  sucessful healthcare reform is the behavior of the individual.  To date, I have heard NO ONE address this problem.  Maybe, with this internet forum, you can begin to raise awareness.
