Today's single payer post: Virtual Health Care Community

I suppose this is the logical conclusion of the American Health Neglect System:

CIGNA Creating a Virtual Health Care Community

BLOOMFIELD, Conn. & SAN FRANCISCO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Today CIGNA, a leading health service company, is announcing the development of a virtual health care community. This computer-simulated world is situated on a Second Life® island, where seminars, interactive displays, educational games and virtual health consultations help foster real and sustainable behavior change that improves health.

Developed by Method, a brand experience agency, CIGNA’s virtual community provides 3-D video game-like interactivity that enables people to learn and interact anonymously with like-minded peers in order to positively change the way they live their lives. For example, the newly developed nutrition zone helps participants develop their nutrition knowledge, learn how to make healthier food choices, manage their weight and understand portion sizes and food labels - skills that will enable them to lead healthier, more energetic and productive lives. Stress, physical activity and sleep zones within the community will be developed following an evaluation of people’s experience with the nutrition zone.

“As a health service company, we are always looking for new and creative ways to reach people with important messages about living a healthy and productive life,” said Keith Dixon, Ph.D., president of CIGNA’s health solutions unit. “With a social interactivity that extends beyond geographic boundaries, and an exciting and appealing visual experience, CIGNA’s virtual community enables us to reach an entirely new group of people that might not respond to health education messages delivered through more traditional channels.”

Expect to hear more about wellness programs as a substitute for meaningful action and as a way of blaming the public for the fact that we get sick.

Over the fourth of July holiday many of our politicians will be out in public, let them know that you can’t be fobbed of with wellness programs. HR 676, Medicare for All, accept no substitutes!

Christie has created a great tool for finding out where your Senator or Representative will be appearing.

FISA or Medicare for All, your choice. Remember to be brief and be courteous. Don’t expect a commitment, in this sort of situation numbers are everything.
