Just a quick note for our loquacious readers (many of whom also enjoy blogging): the Asian American Action-fund blog is sponsoring an essay contest centered around the healthcare debate. Specifically, how do we fix our system? Given the number of healthcare professionals in the South Asian American community I am guessing there are a lot of thoughts out there. Have at it:

Given the number of healthcare professionals
good point. but do remember that one person’s “waste” is another person’s profit/income 🙂 healthcare is a growing industry right now, and we’re thinking healthcare workers might have great ideas on how to “bend the curve” in terms of the growth of their sector? 🙂
Given the number of healthcare professionals in the South Asian American community I am guessing there are a lot of thoughts out there
What? We’re not concerned about the lack of South Asian representation in the insurance industry and malpractice/tort litigation practice? 😉
Abhi the link does not work. Can you please fix it? Thanks
Thanks, Abhi. The contest does indeed sound very affordable since all it requires is an email address.
