<p>I have been following the health care debate closely over the last few weeks.
One thing that stands out is the lack of clarity on what you want from it.</p>
<p>
For me, health care reform should achieve three goals
<ul><li /> anyone who lost their job should not automatically become uninsured
<li /> more individuals should get insured
<li /> make health care more affordable for everyone</ul>
</p><p>
To this end, all the talk about public option and how or whether private insurance will be able to compete does not make sense.
</p><p>
Why should private companies compete with the public option - they should provide add-on health insurance.
</p><p>
It could be real simple - public plan declares what it is willing to pay for - a routine physical, or particular cholestrol treatment. There will be some physicians and hospitals that will accept this payment, and others that will demand more. If a patient chooses to go to such a physician/facility, either they pay the extra amount out of pocket, or their private add-on insurance pays for this.
</p><p>
Of course, public plan will need to pay a competitive price to ensure a certain percentage of physicians/facilities accept its insurance 100%.
</p><p>
You surrounded yourself with smart advisors during the 2008 election cycle. Your voucher scheme for fixing the education system was spot on, and that is very similar to what I propose above. Why are you letting congress and special interests take the lead on health reform?
</p><p>
Oh, and this proposal does address the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/20/health/policy/20view.html">question raised by Prof. Gregory Mankiw in his NYTimes column of Sep 20, 2009</a>.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392905960536447294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9793408.post-83862757919099430012009-07-15T11:53:00.000-07:002009-07-15T12:00:45.137-07:00Bing 1 Google 0<p>I was a sceptic when <a href="http://www.bing.com">Bing</a> launched - if <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a> provides me the answer I'm looking for, what is the incentive to even test out an alternative?</p><p>

<li/>Past voting margins are more reliable than polls based on 1000 voters. So if a state was republican by more than 10% margin, there's no way its going democrat.
<li/>Obama to get any state that either Kerry or Gore won easy
<li/>Other states that Clinton won and current polls show leaning obama are tossups.

Time for you to make yours.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392905960536447294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9793408.post-83311089342306594562008-10-20T20:03:00.000-07:002009-02-24T16:09:12.571-08:00Investing: How to Invest?<p>How much time are you willing to invest researching various investment opportunities?</p>
<p>There are two predominant theories about stock market valuations. The first says that a stock is only worth however much someone else is willing to pay for it. Believers of this theory look at charts, trends, investor sentiment to decide how to trade next, and ignore earnings, cash flow, balance sheet and other valuation metrics. The second theory says that a company's stock is worth the discounted value of all future earnings/dividends. Stock analysts spend their time predicting future cash flows of a company.</p>
<p>There is some degree of truth to both theories, and they're constantly at work pulling stock prices in different directions. This is what makes it so hard to predict future stock movements, both by chartists and analysts. There's a famous quote: The market can irrational for longer than you can stay solvent.</p>
<p>Still, it is possible for Individual investors to make a few good market picks. If they focus on owning great businesses at a reasonable valuation, and keep them for the long term, that should ensure a handy return on investment. The problem, of course, is finding great businesses trading at reasonable valuations.</p>
<p>The core of any portfolio should be stable blue chip companies with a good dividend. Then, you can add small portions into funds that cover mid cap stocks, international stocks, real estate stocks etc. to boost returns. However, be wary of jumping into the hottest trend. </p>
<p>If you'd rather spend your time pursuing your professional or personal goals, you can still benefit from investing in equity. Over the past 80 years, the US stock market as a whole has returned 6-7% above inflation over long periods. Almost half of this comes from GDP growth, and the other half comes from dividends and stock buybacks.</p>
<p><b>When to buy:</b> Timing can make a huge difference in stock market returns. Depending on whether you invested near the peak, or after a collapse, your return could vary a lot. Consider two scenarios, where your return over the next twenty years is 6% in the first and 18% in the second. The difference in return for a $100,000 investment would be $400,000 versus $6.2million! Of course, you never know if you're near a market bubble, or if the market is about to appreciate significantly. The simplest course of action is to invest regularly, no matter what the market does. You'll buy more shares at low prices, and fewer shares at high valuations. </p>
<p><b>When to sell:</b> The best way to sell is to plan in advance. If you're investing for a goal 25 years away, you can start with all stocks, and when you get closer to your goal, gradually move that stock holding into debt and/or cash. </p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392905960536447294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9793408.post-63725229589053229152008-10-19T17:42:00.001-07:002009-02-24T16:09:12.571-08:00Investing: Where to invest?<p>What is your goal and how much risk are you willing to take?</p>
<p>For investors, the higher the risk, the higher the potential reward.</p>
<p><b>Gold</b>: Over long periods of time, gold does not beat inflation. There is also a possibility that more gold is discovered, thereby increasing supply and reducing demand. Another disadvantage with Gold is that you must sell it to realise any return. It does not pay dividends.</p>
<p><b>Debt</b>: If a company goes bankrupt, debtholders are paid before stockholders. Therefore debt is lower risk compared to equity, and should provide lower returns.</p>
<p><b>Mutual Funds</b>: Normally, mutual funds are considered the simplest way to invest in stocks. There are a few problems with mutual funds:</p>
<ul>
<li /> loads and expenses: Many mutual funds charge significant percentage of assets for their annual expenses (over 1%), sales and marketing commissions (2-5%). These fees eat into your returns
<li /> ability of fund managers: Very few fund managers have long term track records of outperforming the market averages
<li /> focus on the short term: Funds are benchmarked compared to other indexes and other funds every year. This means investors might flee a good fund that has bought companies that should do well over the long term, but have been beaten up for the short term. Investor redemptions force these funds to sell their current holdings, even if they believe in their long term potential.
</ul>
<p><b>Broad based Market Indexes</b>: As they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Given how few mutual funds can actually beat the stock market average, why not pick an index fund that replicates a broad based stock market index. This way, you can capture market returns without the pitfalls of actively managed funds</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392905960536447294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9793408.post-33952816557321380592008-10-18T21:56:00.000-07:002009-02-24T16:09:12.572-08:00Investing: Why Invest?<p>So why do you want to Invest?</p>
<p>As the current credit crisis has shown, investing because other people made money in the market is not the right reason.<br />
The right reason to invest is to protect your money from the bite of inflation. Over time, the purchasing power of money decreases.</p>
<p>To illustrate the power of compounding, consider the chart below</p>
<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jk81oYwIbRA/SPrNK-9PDzI/AAAAAAAADJM/pzB1cEWBxtg/s1600-h/compounding.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jk81oYwIbRA/SPrNK-9PDzI/AAAAAAAADJM/pzB1cEWBxtg/s320/compounding.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258741103490699058" /></a>
<p>A bank might return 5% annually. Over twenty years, $100,000 in the bank would be worth $265,000. However, if Inflation is 5% as well, you have not gained anything in purchasing power. Consider another investment that returns 12% annually. Over twenty years, this investment would be worth $965,000. </p>
<p>Historically, over long periods (twenty years or more), stocks have proven to have the highest return with the least risk. Short term stock market returns can vary widely. One year returns can be astronomically high, or disastrously bad. Even for five year periods, it is possible that the return from the stock market would be negative. </p>
<p>For any twenty year period since the world wars, stock returns have been superior to those of gold, debt or inflation.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392905960536447294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9793408.post-44587015929263837912008-10-16T16:39:00.000-07:002008-10-17T15:44:37.408-07:00Browser comparison<p>I use three browsers daily: Chrome (80%), Firefox (15%) and IE (5%).

<p>In line with your practical approach on complex issues, here are a couple of suggestions on tackling legal immmigration.</p>
<ol>
<li />Number of H1B Visas - as you're probably aware, H1-B visas have been handed out by lottery over the last couple of years due to excessive demand. So here's a simple solution: For each year, the cap is hit, increase the H1B Visa Cap, and the H1B filing fee by 20%. Use the excess fee to fund scholarships for American students in the high tech industry.
<li />Greencard backlog - A large percentage of H1-B applicants eventually apply for greencard. However, there's no cap on the number of H1-B visas issued to a single country, but there are per-country quotas for greencards. This should be consistent. Either apply per country limits on both, or neither.
<li />Legislation - While a comprehensive immigration act is needed, why hold up legal immigration reform when debating illegal immigration? I'm sure the legal reform is an easier bipartisan sell.
</ol>

I agree that <a href="http://pavlovdotnet.wordpress.com/2007/11/13/wordpress/">hosting your own blog is a pain</a>. Time spent upgrading blogging software is better spent blogging!
Ok, deleted the subdomain and asked ASO to add a CNAME, waiting.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392905960536447294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9793408.post-63742233218705677042007-07-01T13:40:00.000-07:002007-07-02T12:51:59.493-07:00Wordpress 2 test<p>Also testing wordpress as an alternative</p>
<ul>
<li /> Category feeds work right out of the box. However,
<li /> Documentation sucks. The fact that permalinks are not enabled out of the box shows how wordpress still lives in the stone age of usability. Finding out how to enable them was tedious, because the 'using permalinks' article on the codex already assumes you know how to turn them on!
<li /> import from blogger is borked! didnt work at all.
</ul><p>
Blogger sucks too, when i changed my publishing from FTP to blogspot temporarily, it started requiring word verification for posting</p>
<p>Update: Received an email from blogger that cleared the spam designation</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392905960536447294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9793408.post-54176573299439407792007-06-27T15:03:00.000-07:002007-07-02T12:49:06.289-07:00MT4 Beta<p>Playing around with Movable Type 4 Beta. The reason I'm dissatisfied with blogger is the lack of easy label feeds when publishing via ftp.</p>
<p>
Blogger import worked after a misstep. There are instructions that say 'use ascii', but how about importing from an export on the server itself? There was a missing line ending.. preventing import.

Category feeds worked after reading documentation, which is surely better than wordpress'</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392905960536447294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9793408.post-29690216499076058822007-06-15T18:56:00.000-07:002009-02-24T16:09:47.924-08:00Rediscovering Google Apps<p>Stumbled upon some new features of Google Apps by accident. Was browsing the list of attendees to the <a href="http://www.iit2007.org">IIT 2007</a> conference. Located a familiar name and looked up his website, and stumbled upon his "start page".</p>
<p>
Domain with simple requirements hosted courtesy of google sounded real sweet. Stumbled upon a .info domain name sale at <a href="http://www.godaddy.com">GoDaddy</a>. Bought a domain name for <a href="http://www.opticalcourses.info">Institute of Optical Advancement</a> and promptly pointed the CNAME records to Google. Also transferred the <a href="http://www.nathopticians.com">Nath Opticians</a> website to Google Apps.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392905960536447294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9793408.post-959878434835483372007-05-31T18:12:00.000-07:002007-05-31T18:18:51.986-07:00Java 1.6 not compatible with Firefox 2.0.0.4<p>Firefox addons need to specify a maxversion they're compatible with - this seems inherently flawed.
