PR needs constant contact with news
For the last 12 days, I haven’t watched a television or read the newspaper or any news online. I’m completely out of the loop.
So Obama presented a health plan last nite, and a Republican house member shouted in the middle of it. The irony is, I’ve been so mired in getting up to speed on Medicare, Tri-care, Medicaid, assisted living, rehab and nursing home terminology that I haven’t had a minute to keep up with the world outside my situation here in Rhode Island, health care reform or not. I feel completely cut off.
If you were advising the president, what would you change about how he has delivered his health reform plans? And what would you advise the house member who apparently expressed his displeasure aloud? Without being fully apprised of the news, I can’t advise either one appropriately. PR needs information like plants need water.

The American health care system, as you are probably seeing first-hand, is in critical condition. I would advise the President, Congress, indeed all of us to take a deep breath, count to 10, (maybe even take a chill pill, if you have health insurance that includes a prescription drug plan) and then return to the table with a new resolve to come up with a reform plan that the majority can agree to. The hysteria surrounding the health- care reform debate has only served to prevent and delay decision-makers from dealing with a problem that will only get worse with time. In plain speak, I’d say, “Cut the crap and cut a deal.”
Best wishes to you and your family members as you care for your mom. My thoughts are with you.
