As is common on these special occasions, I now depart for a primitive realm, isolated from the All Knowing Web. For the next three days, my knowledge of the outside world will be limited to what I can discern from the marks Bill Keller allows to be made on sheets of mashed up wood. I will be unable to experience DemFromCt's 645th consecutive post on the swine flu apocalypse and the post-civilization world into which it will soon plunge us all. I will return no doubt changed, my mind devolved to the more primitive state of human consciousness of the late 20th Century.
I will try to enjoy it. Probably back on Sunday.
Discussion of public health and health care policy, from a public health perspective. The U.S. spends more on medical services than any other country, but we get less for it. Major reasons include lack of universal access, unequal treatment, and underinvestment in public health and social welfare. We will critically examine the economics, politics and sociology of health and illness in the U.S. and the world.
We interrupt Cervante's obsession with influenza and DemFromCT to wish him and his a happy thanksgiving, and point him to "On Cancer Screening, Politics, and Communication" (since he only reads my flu posts in order to work up a good rant, he may have missed this one.)

Remember the less fortunate while you argue politics with family and friends. And stay well.
