                                     February 3, 2009 February 9, 2009 April 20, 2009 June 10, 2009   August 26, 2009 November 1, 2009 January 12, 2010 August 25, 2009 Dear Senator Ted Kennedy                                                                                                                                                                                                           Another of my infertility patients reported being pregnant, acupuncture was the only therapy applied. During 2008 I helped 9 Connecticut families create 10 babies, 1 set of twins occurred when both mother and father received treatment, and it is way too complicated a process to explain via a web site. It is however a privilege of a life time to have participated in this process. Life is good! I had a debate with a couple of friends about who is/was the greatest boxer of all times. We talked about many boxers, but my pick for the greatest boxer of all times was Evander Holyfield. Mr. Holyfield represented the USA in the Olympics and is the only boxer in history to win 4 heavy weight championships. He is my pick for the greatest boxer of all times! Getting the phone call that another one of my infertility patients is pregnant is always nice. This particular patient was being treated with acupuncture only. This couple was trying to conceive for two years unsuccessfully after their first child was born. Last week I visited Arlington National Cemetery. I have been trying to find the words to accurately describe my experience at Arlington. Please forgive me for my shortcomings as a writer. In honor of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, I am posting a letter sent to the Senator the day before his passing. The letter below was sent to Senator Kennedy, President Obama, Vice President Biden, Senator Christopher Dodd, and Congresswomen Rosa Delaura. Please allow me to introduce myself, and to briefly explain the reason for my letter. I am presently an independent health care provider in Connecticut. Before changing careers I designed large scale computer systems for organizations such as Dreyfus Mutual Funds, AT&T and US Federal Government, Cablevision, and NYU Medical Center. I have spent the past eight years working full time as a health care provider, delivering health care services, while trying to balance the financial needs of my patients and practice. As we all know, our Health Care System is in desperate need of reform. Over the last 4 years I have worked independently on the design, development, and deployment of an automated health care system. I named the system CHS Life (Complete Healthcare System for Life). I worked on CHS Life between patient visits, so as to help you and your office implement a health care solution for the people of the United States of America. I was driven by the needs of my patients, as well as my own needs as an independent health care provider to create a balanced health care system. With my extensive information technology experience and intimate knowledge of the health care industry, I was able to deploy an automated health care system, a system flexible and capable of delivering all health care models outlined below: 1. The Global and Local Health Healthcare Payment model developed by CHS Life and evaluated by the Massachusetts Special Commission on Health Care Payment Systems, is one of the most cost effective health care delivery systems in the world. Yesterday, I wrote a letter to Senator Ted Kennedy in regards to health care. I wrote Senator Kennedy because he is/was a man willing and able to fight the good fight. If America had more men with half the courage of Ted Kennedy, then our children would have universal health care. Senator Kennedy passed away today. Get involved, fight for your children or your grandchildren’s healthcare. On 10/19/2009, my friend David Scarpace passed away. Dave was a great friend, father, and husband. Dave helped me move my acupuncture practice twice, and yet Dave never had an acupuncture treatment. That’s the type of friend Dave was, he showed up when you needed him. Dave will be missed! An example of the Global payment model specifically designed for the State of Connecticut can be found on the CHS Life web site under Government Information Example Program. This model is so cost effective that the total cost of providing care to Connecticut residents would be $100 a month for an individual and $200 a month for a family. The Massachusetts Special Commission on the Health Care Payment Systems concluded that the Global payment model should become the predominant health care payment model for Massachusetts. The commissions’ entire report can be found online at CHS Life did not only create the Global model and automate the entire health care system but we took it a step further and included a Local model. The Local model can be used by health care providers and hospitals to develop wellness programs. 2. The second model is the Insurance Exchange model currently being considered by Congress. This CHS Life system can not only manage an insurance exchange but can automate claims processing for all insurance carriers and health care providers offices. The CHS Life computer system can process an unlimited number of insurance claims for an unlimited number of companies, all from within single application. By allowing providers to enter claims for all the different payers into a central system, we can dramatically reduce the costs of processing claims. Each insurance company and government health plan would be fed claims or harvest claims 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Citizens could purchase private insurance plans, public health care plans, or any combination of the plans available, all from a central location. 3. The final model is the Healthcare Superhighway model designed by CHS Life. This model includes both health care models described above with the addition of an automated pharmacy ordering system and charity management component. CHS Life is so well designed that a single CHS Life system can be used by healthcare providers to process a new healthcare plan, pharmacy orders, wellness programs, and an unlimited number of private insurance policies and government health plans. By automating every provider office and hospital with CHS Life technology, we can dramatically lower the administrative cost of delivering health care for Patients, Providers, Insurance Companies, Pharmacies, and Governments. I am confident that you will see the significance of this program and appreciate that the system is alive and functioning on a small scale. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about starting a trial program. We need your leadership and expertise to move this process forward for the American people. I am at your service and look forward to hearing from you. Special Commission Report It’s very difficult to explain such things in words, Arlington is something you must experience to understand, of all the places I visited on my trip to Washington last week, Arlington was the most moving. The first emotion comes when you realize that interments are taking place; Arlington averages 25 funerals per day, with families standing at a grave site or walking behind a flag draped casket, your heart stops when you hear the clear cracking sound of a gun salute. You begin to understand, at that very moment, that the beautiful lawns of Arlington grow green from the tears of the heart broken, and grieving Mothers. The second emotion is not so much a feeling but more like an echo, an echo felt as it passes through your body. If a patriot’s heart beat produces an echo on its very last beat, then hundreds of thousands of echoing heart beats can be clearly felt at Arlington.                                                                                                     After scheduling your appointment, please print and complete the first visit form found on this web sites home page.
