No big surprise NYNY Major Bloomberg is a master of ICE -
Information Community Effectiveness - as that has made him untold $ millions.
But I am always surprised how well he and NYC.gov use the WWW to serve the
diverse needs of citizens - through his virtual outreach he makes clear he is
an ingenious and caring statesman very deserving to lead one of the world's
most remarkable and complex cities. For example, today I received the following
"Health and Mental Hygiene News" on "How to Find a Doctor",
which "tells
you how to find the doctor you want regardless if you have insurance or not,
lists many free or low-cost health insurance programs, and explains how having
a regular doctor can greatly improve your health." How many 100,000s of
people in NEO need this knowledge, from an eGov taking care of citizen needs?

How to Find a Doctor

A regular doctor or other
health care provider can help you and your family stay healthy.

• People with a regular doctor are more likely to live
  longer and healthier lives.
• A doctor who knows you and your medical history is
  best able to provide the care you need, based on your specific health
  needs.
• You’re more likely to feel comfortable with a doctor
  you see regularly, so you can talk about any health issue, including
  sexual health and alcohol and drug use.
• No one should have to go without medical care because
  they don’t have money to pay for it - help is available!
