Legacy Journal: Friday Final Edition: Philanthropy, mandates, and Spring in the Rockies

Section:
Almanac

Summary:
* George Will recently brought to our attention that Compassionate Conservatives a better givers than Liberals

That reminds us of a recently passed health insurance coverage mandate in Arizona. It is for an expensive, intense, and unproven treatment for early childhood autism. This is an example of a non-evidence based public policy favoring a small group at the expense of others including rate payers and those denied benefits of expensive but clinically effective treatments like organ transplants.

* This week a group of global warming gurus are meeting in Aspen, Colorado where the ski season has been spectacular. One story has been on large sea ice sheets become detached and exposing the face and underbelly advancing glaciers. One Stanford based “Climate Scientist” with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering appears to be concerned about the heat generated by the rock on rock rubbing at the glacial - gravel interface. The result is water that lubricates and accelerates the glacially march to the sea where may tend to change local salinity and raise ocean levels over centuries. Hum.

Main:
: It appears that Conservatives contribute both time and treasure to causes that are often faith based. Yes, Mormons are expected to tithe. Environmental
preachers are not.

:: Special interest insurance mandates are an example of an economic moral hazard. In the case of mandating coverage of chest spiral CT for screening smokers for early lung cancer appears to also included an unknown financial conflict of interest on the part of at least one Columbia University Weil Medical Center radiologist.

::: Meanwhile, the temperature in Aspen last night was a cool 29.
