This post, especially presented as it is through the voices of these founders, makes an important point. However, missing, as far as I can tell, is the critique of health care that startups and the open source movement stand to make - a point which the ACA ignores: Health care has a gatekeeper problem. And an IP problem. Many people find that medical doctors are only a part - maybe a small part - of their health care regiment. And that being and staying healthy has little in common with the official positions of agencies from HHS (especially FDA) to EPA. The ACA enshrines insurance, pharma, and hospital companies, including those that are the biggest parts of the problem in health care in the USA. For my part, I need to hear how we can move away from the credentialist model of care toward an open source model before I can become impassioned about any plan.
