Sorry for the delay in posting! Am in NYC now, and have an interesting side project working to help a free clinic run by medical students (http://weill.cornell.edu/wccc/index.html) create a short film for presentation at a fundraising gala later this fall - the theme of the event is "Without A Safety Net", and could be really interesting. Never made a film before (I just bought a Flip Cam), and really need suggestions on ideas, themes, etc. I should try to capture!
Got a first taste of the clinic yesterday at one of their board meetings, and it was really interesting! I've spent so much time talking about healthcare reform and insurance expansion in classes and random conversations with people on this blog, but at the end of the day.....it's just talk! Obamacare doesn't go into enforcement until 3 years from now - until then, these students are still taking care of folks that need help. Even post-policy reform, the real action - the real implementation - of delivering health will happen at the front-lines....not in board-rooms in D.C. or New York.
That's not necessarily a good/bad thing - it's just a reality, one that I had forgotten or failed to realize for a while. Looking forward to learning more!
