About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

    It is never a good thing when many companies in a single industry start merging together (especially if it starts to become rampant). It limits choice, and limited choice is always bad for the consumer.
    That's why an all government provided health care system is detrimental. It reduces choice to one (and it's a choice run by the government who isn't known for running cost efficient, smooth, or consumer friendly anything).

    But it not really working. It's functioning, just so long as you don't need to actually use it.

    Not according to ever person who lives in another country that's also lived here that I've talked to.

    Everyone is going to have different sources, I realize that. The sources I have (friends in Canada, and relatives in Great Brittan), say it's great, because everyone has available coverage, but you might just expire if you have to use it (unless you are rich enough to pay cash at private facilities. So, again, you get to keep living if you have the bucks, just like before).

    One difference. In the Government run plan, those of us in the middle who were able to fall into the 'have enough money to afford to keep living' group, now fall into the 'get in line 'till you die waiting' group. That's all, the group getting the shaft is bigger (much bigger).
