Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a very frequent (probably too frequent!) customer of Starbucks. During a visit there this past week, I noticed the 2nd in a series of "special reports" leading up to the November Election. These "Good Sheets," as they call them, focus on specific issues in each weekly edition. I was thrilled to see the one from last week focusing on Health Care. There were many facts and figures that I think we've all seen before; however, they were well presented and even offered an overview of each candidates policies for changing healthcare in their respective administrations. I applaud Starbucks for getting this information out to a larger audience who may not be living and breathing healthcare on a daily basis ... like most of us.

I encourage you to pick one up at your local Starbucks or visit their website to read. I think you'll find it very interesting and a quick read. Oh, and contrary to what you might think ... this isn't a paid endorsement of Starbucks, but a recognition of a major company trying to make a difference and educate folks about our healthcare crisis. Enjoy (& pick up a cup of joe while you're at it!)!
