Dr. Bellamy,
These health and health cost effects are important in this country, as you
note. I've made a career out of highlighting the inefficient use of health care
dollars in the U.S., whether hospitals, health plans or Rx are involved.
But the truth is that each of us must own our health and demand better, or
walk. We cannot be trapped by false need for money when we are poor stewards of
capital and health equities.
Thank you for alluding to this health-wealth connection in your sentiments. If
I can be of more help, pls let me know. I live in Naples, where I had a
positive mtg last week w Senator Richter's folks about several important
health-wealth issues.
I succeeded when I testified in MI, counseled the county commissioners in NJ,
and consulted w Congressional legislative staff ( on creating value in
Medicare) that tying the dollar risk to needed tax raises goes far.
To all-- keep up the good work!

Hi All,
About a month ago, I sent you the results of some number-crunching by my
friend Cyndy Nayer of Naples on recently published research about increases
in hospitalizations in heavily-fracked counties in Pennsylvania. Cyndy has
written a post about the study and her own results on her website and is
offering a one-page handout that can be given to legislators. You may be
particularly interested in the information re: related research at the bottom
of the page-long post.
Onward,
Michelle
