Keeping Up The Fight

I admire Mayor Michael Bloomberg for his consistent and persistent fight to improve the health of the public in New York City. Of course, he will make missteps, frontrunners always do. And it is good when those missteps are publicized. That too is part of the process to attract public attention. Public and community health for the purpose of primary prevention is a slow and laborious process. It needs more leaders like Mayor Bloomberg. There are more and more people who want to be healthy and realize too late that medical care does not achieve good health. To give medical care credit, it never promised good health, just good care for sickness, disease and disability. I wonder what Mr. Bloomberg will do after he leaves the mayor's office. He is a person of great potential to keep up the fight. I, for one, would join him.
