I think this title is a bit misleading, the author is talking about attempts to reform and modernize healthcare-related IT; not overall healthcare and health insurance reform.
- anigbrowl 17y agoI don't - it doesn't carry an implication of malice for me, but rather an all-too-believable one of gargantuan cost overruns and subsequent recrimination and backbiting. I see the distinction you're making but the reform is heavily predicated on government's ability to deliver massive productivity savings by mandating a new information infrastructure for healthcare. I have friends and relatives who hold very senior administrative positions in both private and public (European) healthcare, respectively. It's not going to be easy to computerize, and I am quite worried about the long term implications for the US economy.
