Before I Get Started/Quote of the Week

Quote of the Week

“Is it all that it can be? No. But when history calls, history calls.  And I happen to think that the consequences of inaction dictate the urgency of Congress to take every opportunity to demonstrate its capacity to solve the monumental issues of our time.”

Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) explaining her vote in support of the Senate Finance Committee’s healthcare bill.

Before I Get Started

An update on past Reports and Twitter thoughts from Kevin.

First, I really do try to keep these reports under a certain size limit, but this week has been unusually busy in terms of healthcare reform activity.  So, bear with me as this report is a tad longer than normal.  Also, I usually reserve this pro-forma section for the last mention in the Report, but I’m reversing order this week because we launched an updated Web site.  Our Web team has been working hard to create a more user-friendly interface that I hope readers will enjoy. Instead of scrolling through a mound of Kevy Komments and past Updates, the newsletter has now been divided into easily manageable segments so that you can access the information you want to review.  Check it out as the Dell Services Media Room, and as usual, you can follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/mdkev.
