Diablogue’s 500th post

March 23, 2012: This week the Health Care Divisional Council’s Diablogue reached a milestone posting its 500th story since beginning in January 2010.

The HCDC blog was intended to create a dialogue on public health care policy – and that it has done. Diablogue is now widely read among journalists, policy makers, think-tanks, academics, researchers, hospital CEOs, community organizers and OPSEU’s 36,000 health care members. Comments are on the rise as many of these readers have contributed their own insights for discussion.

Our readers tell us regularly that the site is both entertaining and informative.

We try hard to cut through the jargon-filled health care system to distill issues of importance to our readership community.

The 500th story – “Taxes: Let the mole people pay” --  looks at the unreality of a public that demands quality public health care but insists someone else should pay the taxes.

We also post on OPSEU’s Facebook site as well as tweet regularly from #opseu_diablogue. If there’s a story you particularly agree with, don’t hesitate to share it with others. If you agree or disagree with the content, leave us a comment!

The Diablogue recently began a French language counterpart at http://diabloguefr.wordpress.com/

Here’s looking forward to the next 500 posts.
