Since meaningful use regulation has strong-armed almost all providers in the country into EMRs, it costs absolute pennies to provide those documents. And for most people, 500$ for a medical record is effectively zillions.

Yes. I don’t think the poster you’re replying to missed the author’s position; I think they were just pointing out that it generalizes poorly, since the “savings” all pretty much came from that single source, which few other people share. A
