If a corporation raises their “alert level” due to a possible upcoming issue then stocks will plummet causing a guaranteed issue. I’d rather have the board of directors working hard to ensure an issue does not arise rather than sitting around arguing if they should change the color of their alert to orange or orangish-red.

If shareholders or employees feel the need for an alert system then they shouldn’t be investing or working for that company. If you cannot trust them, then don’t give them your money or time!

I would emphasize National Institute of Health research. What better way to reduce the cost of health care than to, than to have–prevent illness? I would support advanced directives, where we find so much of medical care is paid for the in the last few hours or few days or a person’s life. Not to tell people what to do on their care at that time, but have them, have them think about it. I support programs which improves technology, as the stimulus package has $19 billion. I’ve been in this field for a long time and have a lot of ideas, participated in the president’s task force, and I’m ready to put my shoulder to the wheel to get legislation adopted. But I’m going to take a look at it piece by piece. I’m not committed.

I agree, I think an alert system would be a wonderful tool for businesses. It is important for businesses to frequently self assess to ensure that things do not begin heading down hill past the point of no return. If one begins feeling ill, one does not wait until one is sweating bullets to take ones temperature. This may be too late. Instead, one would typically take one’s temperature at the first sign of symptoms to begin taking necessary steps to prevent perminant, or serious, damage from occuring.
