Four day Weekend!

Four day weekend, ho!

Today was pretty quiet, actually. Almost no one at the office, so I had time to work on some projects uninterupted. Spent most of my day trying to track down a problem. Didn't find it, but it was at least pleasant. Got in touch with one of the courts and will be sending them a money order on Friday.

Other than that, its Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there!

Health Insurance

Don't have health insurance, but have those pesky health problems that you need treated?

Not to worry!

Your local hospital/health care provider will be glad to transfer your bill to GE Money Bank, who will issue you a 'CompleteCare' 'credit card'. At the low, low APR of 13.5 to 24%.

Welcome to what I think is going to be a defining problem of the next twenty years; how we do insure people who couldn't otherwise afford it? How do we balance compassion, efficiency, and a general desire to not all go bankrupt? It is probably, in computer science terms, a NP-complete problem, and how we face it will say an awful lot about us.
