Texas, Many places in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Michigan, MANY PARTS OF INDIA, Mexico, Indiana, Missouri, Florida, California, Nevada, Arizona, New York-- I was in the healthcare industry for almost 30 years. I've owned a few health related companies. I was responsible for setting up one of the first PPO's in the US. Also negotiated with the Insurance Department to not regulate PPO's. I was chosen to represent the US, along with 17 other representatives, to travel through INDIA. The purpose was to investigate the health care crisis and provide some solutions. I had the pleasure of meeting with Mother Teresa. In one of the companies I owned, I set up The American Alliance Against AIDS. I received an honorary doctorate in Healthcare Management from India for my work on AIDS.
