"The latest RAND study notes that many of the electronic records systems ... lack interoperability." SAY WHAT??? They "lack interoperability"??? Wouldn't that be the #1 requirement for a mega-user, giga-entry database?? Sheesh. Our tax dollars at work- AGAIN. Thanks, Odumba. Recently I heard that a small office of four MDs had to shell out $70k for software to encode procedures. How on earth can they afford to spend that kind of money in a small practice?? Maybe it's just another "Democrats' bargain"... Pay up or close your doors. D@mned Dem weasels.

Then pay the upkeep staff, who will be living in that electronic swamp of information about you-and you- and you.... Constant "upgrades", frequent failures-- these will require more and more people with access to your information. Don't worry, though; they're pure of heart. Just like The President.

Digital Medical Hubris

Now the other shoes begin to drop. Voters knew in November that many of the promises Obama made in 2008 had been broken. The economy had not revived as he had promised it would ("or we'll be talking about a one-term proposition"). He has not "changed the tone in Washington" -- except for the worse. He didn't prevent lobbyists from holding positions in his administration. He didn't cut the deficit in half; he increased it radically. But voters apparently decided that the president deserved credit for good intentions.

How long will that indulgence last? The next four years, whatever else...
