Health Spottr may not be "the" source of all wisdom on who the leading thinkers are in Health Care, but they aren't that bad either. What made me think about this is that of the 100 names on this "Future of Health 100" list, I had only ever heard of about six of them. I'm getting a little older and starting to become very sensitive to the health care subject, so I resolved today that I'm going to figure out who these people are and what they think about health care that might affect my life.
You just have to love Dr. John Malone. The guy's a certified genius but also a "what you see is what you get" straight-shooting kind of guy. His Ph.D. is from Johns Hopkins, BA is science from Yale, worth $2.3 billion (according to Forbes, but probably way low because they just couldn't find all of it). He ran TCI (America's largest Cable company) and sold it to ATT for $54 billion. He's the kind of person that you could just sit and listen to for hours. He's so logical, well informed and well spoken. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal here's a few nuggets from what he had to say... (I agree with him about Obama) WSJ: What are the biggest risks for Liberty right now? Mr. Malone: I think the biggest concern I have for the next year or two would be on the retail side, because of the consumer sentiment and the macro conditions. The concerns really tend to be much more macro: Is America going to make it, rather than are we going to make it?...
