"All of our projects are totally self-sustainable and replicable and generate good operating margins. Many private sector investors are motivated by these revenues. Our projects have been proven to drastically cut Medicare and Medicaid costs."
Response:
What I think is so interesting about the mission created by Mia is that it is beneficial for more than one parties. A lot of times companies will focus on pleasing only one group, for instance the seniors, or just the government. This is a business model that should be looked at more often and used to try and create new outlets. The company creates a balance between providing optimal care for the elder generation as well as cutting high government costs. This is an issue that it very relevant for our generation so finding solutions is crucial.
Text #2:
"I often wonder if we live in a just society, with the number of eople who are systematically disadvantaged, including the poor, the seniors, and the disabled; and given these injustices what kind of change is required today?
Response:
I like this part of the text because it shows that he realized that there were problems in our society. Everyday people are living at a disadvantage and due to his experiences he realizes that something needed to be done. He took it upon himself to make a change. He saw an injustice and from there created a way to solve a problem. I thought this was inspiring and intriguing because it proves that we can all make a difference through businesses. As students we can take what we have learned at Fordham and use it to better the lives of people. It is so easy to turn a blind eye to all that is wrong in the world, but by creating a solution we can better ourselves as well as many members of society.
