I hope open source software can be fully embraced by healthcare, to dramatically reduce costs.

  And increase security. Interning at a pen testing company, they're always happy with hospitals and the like. "There's always plenty to be found there" I recently heard someone say. Usually you have to be on the internal network and that's why the state of affairs is that bad, but it's not like you are always accompanied by an employee while in the building. I'd rather security increases than lowering costs, but ideally both of course. Maybe not even for myself: lower costs means being able to treat more people.

    Hospitals should be the introductory "show you the ropes" type of companies for pen testing interns.

  Reduce the cost for who? Them or everyone? It seems like everything gets more expensive as of lately, not cheaper. So I wouldn't be surprised if they just pocketed the difference. I seen on the news a few days ago that some hospitals are in network but the doctors there are out of network. Makes no sense. Seems like the medical industry is just one big money making the scheme. Doesn't even tell people the prices up front.
