Well, I’ve had plenty of trouble — from character set conversion to the old blog being hacked and hijacked. Maybe now things will settle down. Perhaps I’ll write all about it some time.

I’ll be moving my blog in the next few days, so I’ve turned off commenting. Please stay tuned.

Here is a great article about the presidential candidates’ health care plans: Why McCain has the best health-care plan - Mar. 11, 2008. I agree with the author that McCain’s plan is far superior. The Democrat’s plan will only exacerbate the current problems in health care. It’s something that’s not immedidately obvious, but the article points out that those (like me) with employee-sponsored health care without high deductables aren’t really acting as consumers. There is little incentive to shop around to find the best price and service combination. We just fork over our $30 co-pay and see the doctor. If our employers rolled into our pay-checks what they are paying for our healthcare, we could buy a high-deductible plan and shop around with the extra cash.
