Kaiser Permanente's "Thrive" advertising campaign makes me want to blow chunks.

I even despise the word "thrive" now. I'm not 100% clear on why I've had this reaction. But I think the primary reason may be that hospitals care nothing about their patients any longer, and they haven't for some time. They care only about one thing: Profit.

I suppose if we "thrive," they'll have more patients in the future and therefore make more money.

Sadly, health care no longer means caring about human beings and their health, it is now just Big Business.

My family has been in the U.S. for about 160 years.

They came from Russia, Germany, and England. Most from Russia.

So does that make me Russian, German, English, or American?
