Also worked at a Healthcare (claims processing) company owned by multiple giant insurance companies. I never thought of it as healthcare but just health plumbing, all we did is push HIPAA data from point A to point B. And we also had horrible turf wars and insanely stupid projects that did no one any good. What you are doing is far more interesting. It was pretty obvious that there is a lot one can do with data, assuming you can deal with the HIPAA limitations. One ill person is hard to get much from, but 10000 is different story.
