A contractor writes code for another company. A consultant does more than just write code; she does the typical consulting process:

   1. Listen to the client&#8217;s problems
   2. interview project members by asking questions
   3. investigating project requirements, design documents, code base, and project tracking records
   4. write up a plan that contains a set of solutions to the client&#8217;s problems, and present it
   5. implement the plan

Consultants can be contractors; they can be called upon to be team augmentation, or the team itself to build the software, hired specifically for their software development &#38; leadership skills.  While contractors can work for both big and small companies, consultants typically work for only large/Enterprise companies.  This is because the large problems that require a consultant&#8217;s skills are found in larger companies, and in turn they are capable of affording the consultant&#8217;s rate.</description>

Guys are often in between things like jobs and houses, which means they&#8217;re more likely to stay up with you all night, drinking wine and playing gin rummy. They&#8217;ll rub your belly. They&#8217;ll lick chocolate off it. They&#8217;ll like your cute little dog. A guy is never going to shoot Old Yeller in the woods.

It is common for opponents of health care rationing to point to Canada and Britain as examples of where we might end up if we get &#8220;socialized medicine.&#8221; On a blog on Fox News earlier this year, the conservative writer John Lott wrote, &#8220;Americans should ask Canadians and Brits &#8212; people who have long suffered from rationing &#8212; how happy they are with central government decisions on eliminating &#8216;unnecessary&#8217; health care.&#8221; There is no particular reason that the United States should copy the British or Canadian forms of universal coverage, rather than one of the different arrangements that have developed in other industrialized nations, some of which may be better. But as it happens, last year the Gallup organization did ask Canadians and Brits, and people in many different countries, if they have confidence in &#8220;health care or medical systems&#8221; in their country. In Canada, 73 percent answered this question affirmatively. Coincidentally, an identical percentage of Britons gave the same answer. In the United States, despite spending much more, per person, on health care, the figure was only 56 percent.
