- hga 13y agoVery funny. I have a friend in this general field. Last time I checked, he told me those two words in the "Stimulus" bill expands in ~ 700 pages of regulations and it has made a bunch of consultants on it quite wealthy. Per Michelle Malkin, who lost her Primary Care Physician to this insanity, talking about another (http://michellemalkin.com/2013/10/23/dont-forget-obamacares-electronic-medical-records-wreck/ http://michellemalkin.com/2013/10/23/dont-forget-obamacares-...): "Dr. Michael Laidlaw of Rocklin, Calif., told EHR Practice Consultants that he abandoned the Obamacare EMR “incentive” program “when I realized that I spent the first two to five minutes of each visit endlessly clicking a bunch of garbage to make all the green lights show up on the (meaningful use) meter. I said to myself: ‘I’m not wasting precious seconds of my life and my patients’ time to ensure some database gets filled with data. I didn’t go into medicine for this. It is not benefiting my patients or me. I hate it.’ I actually refused to take the $10K-plus this year. I have even accepted that I would rather be penalized in the future. What is worth the most to me is AUTONOMY." The later refers to the concept that this is firmly inserting the visible foot of government into the physician patient relationship.
