Potential Results From Obamacare

Here I am sitting once again at my desk and allowing my mind to wander this way and that. Gradually, I have come to the realization that once Obamacare fully kicks in we will likely perceive some pretty dramatic changes involving our medical services. Nothing will be as we currently know it. Since our federal government will at that time assume control of all the costs and become the final approving authority for what medical procedures are acceptable for the insurance company we will witness a vast number of private medical care facilities popping up around the country. Given that these are in fact private enterprises it only stands to reason that more of these facilities will open their doors to members only. This creates a serious hazard for the public in several ways.

You may ask how that will affect the medical services being offered. It is important to realize also that these private care facilities are just that - they are private. In no way can the government demand that they provide medical care for the common folks or to anyone that merely knocks on that door. The personnel may feel a certain moral obligation but there certainly would be no legal basis to help.

Let me briefly explain what will happen here. If you have a medical emergency and you are taken to a private medical care facility they are under no obligation to treat you. Private concerns will not be under any obligation to treat anyone who may not be a card-carrying member of their group.

Secondly, our country will experience a medical brain drain such as has occurred in other socialized medical nations. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that the more competent of the professionals well readily accept positions with these private concerns where they are able to make a successful and lucrative living. The public sector will be left with those personnel that are less than proficient and often questionable at best.

It doesn't sound very enticing at all does it? However, we have to remember when our government gets involved in any activities which are not their concern the results are usually not very appealing and always leaves an unpleasant taste in our mouths. I just wanted to bring those thoughts to the table for further consideration as I see it coming as soon as next year. What are your thoughts on this?

The Potential in All of Us

I found a story on American Public Media's Marketplace fascinating. The interview discussed a recent paper by researchers at Stanford and Harvard that reveal that employers are more interested in what you may accomplish that what you already have. Essentially, people want to believe in the promise of what someone has to offer more than they are convinced by the power of what they have already done.

This is a fundamental concept I have been teaching for the past two decades of my leadership work-what we believe we can create, we will.

George Stephanopoulos hadn't hosted a Sunday news program until he did it, no man (for the moment) has served as president until he starts the job, as is true for everyone-you haven't done it until you have done it. So the belief that you aren't capable of doing a job just because you don't have prior experience turns out to not only be a self-defeating belief, it is the one that will stop potential employers from seeing your promise and hiring you!

Too many people fall into the trap of thinking they are only as good as their previous experiences and if that were true how would anyone do anything new or different?

Living the leadership choice is how I teach people to see their talents, skills and passion in a way that allows them to live into their full potential, to move toward fresh experiences and to climb to new heights. They are successful not because they have already done exactly what they aspire to do, rather because the combination of accumulated expertise combined with their passion for doing something innovative makes them uniquely qualified to do it. The key to success is seeing who you truly are and effectively communicating it to others-so that they can see it in you and provide you the opportunity and support to make it a reality.

Leadership is not about becoming something you are not-it is about being the best of who you are already. It doesn't matter if you are unemployed, a recent graduate or a seasoned professional yearning for fresh challenges, the key to creating what you want is to believe that you can and to demonstrate it by owning the qualities you already possess. It is this formula that makes success not only probable, but also possible.

Being yourself and expressing to others what you want to do is the only way to make lead the life you want to live. Being a leader in your life is giving yourself the opportunity to dream it and then taking action to make it a reality.
