It was a novel experience: I had heard so much about Congressman Cooper's charisma. The only representative to run from two congressional districts, Rep. Cooper opened his speech with a warning that he may not sound politically correct.
He then spoke about the current state of the government and the healthcare system in the U.S. Talking about the 47 million uninsured in the country, he said that it is imperative to foster a common visaion and shared goals among physicians, economists and patients. This will bridge the disconnect between the main players in the Healthcare industry.
His vision of America is that of a great country where everyone gets an equal chance to be upwardly mobile.
Rep. Cooper imparted a special message for us BSchool types: He firmly believes that if MBAs take it upon themselves to run the government, with the hope that the best practices of business would be applied , it will make our world a better place.
OwenBloggers chats with Dr. Mark Albion, one of the founders of Net Impact about the evolution of the organization and the growth of CSR around the globe.

The Health Care panels that I have been able to attend and be a part of have been great. Today I went to a panel that talked about alternative solutions to the health care problem, the behavioral problems of those using the system and putting incentives in place to change people's behaviors. The panelists were Adam Long, Bill Paul, Bonnie Pilon and Herb Fritch who each shared their experiences from different backgrounds, from the service side to the government side, and what they thought needed to be changed. They gave examples of how negihborhoods are being restructured, what companies are doing to encourage employees to change their behaviors and what incentives we have to put in place for people to do that. It was very interesting and everyone who attended seemed to really enjoy it and have a lot of questions. My experience with the panels have been gerat and I feel really lucky that I've been able to see so many. Hope you are all doing well!
