  • Treating Parkinson’s Disease - Investment Opportunities and Challenges [View article]
    We are at the threshold of seeing marketable clinical applications for all the clinical pharmocogenomics research that has gone on for the past 20 years. Parkinson's Disease is an excellent illness to target, from both a scientific point of view and from a financial point of view.

    But, you can bet your BDNF that you will not see any useful new treatments developed and available before YOU are disabled by Parkinson's if Obama-Care Reform is passed. Why do I say that? Because if you look at the proposed flow chart for getting an aspirin from your doctor, you can imagine what the product research and development flow chart would look like!

  • 6 Ways to Short the Obama Health Plan  [View article]
    The Healthcare Reform Plan Most Likely to Succeed, by contrast to the silly Obama scheme:

    If the goal is to provide healthcare for uninsured millions of Americans, you build a network of Charity Hospitals and Charity Clinics, staff the network with clinicians, affiliate it with medical and nursing schools, and shield it from malpractice suits because it will obviously inherit the highest risk cases that are hardest to treat and closest to having the ultimate bad outcome. You also increase the compensation paid to doctors, nurses, and other clinicians, and make sure doctors get paid more, on average, than lawyers to ensure that the brightest and best in our society go to medical school instead of law school. You also ensure that practice conditions for clinicians improve to the point that they rival the workplace environment at Apple Computers.

    Look at the jobs report this morning: the ONLY CATEGORY THAT INCREASED JOBS IS HEALTHCARE. The president should never complain the 20% of our GDP goes to healthcare, he should celebrate the fact that 20% of our GDP is reasonably directed towards financing THE ONLY SERVICE YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT.

    If Obama cared about you, he would report how much of our GDP supports the legal profession, and do something to reduce wasteful spending on legal fees.
