There is currently a monopoly in electronic prescriptions in the US. Surescripts runs the only network that connects electronic health records to pharmacies. (over 99% of electronic prescriptions are sent using them) They dictate that you m

This is not useable for electronic prescription of drugs in the US. That is the problem I want solved.

This article is a fantastic example of an editorial slant that provides zero evidence to back up their position. You can write the exact same article in reverse and have no idea whether the regulations are warranted or not. If you want to

Sure, this report does a good job summarizing the tradeoffs of occupational licensure. If I were to highlight a section to read it would be pages 13 and 14. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files&

Speaking as someone who builds mission critical software, licensing is not the answer to this problem. Occupational licensing only serves to raise barriers to entry and crowd out competition without raising quality. To put my opinion bluntl

I think you've completely missed the point. It should be very rare to need to ship a fork of a project to end users. Patches should first be targeted at the upstream project, but in the rare case where it needs to be used today you sho

This is meant to be temporary. If it is truly crucial they will update happily. If it's not they can wait. Submit the patch upstream, if it is accepted you can then deprecate your code and create an alias, if it's not congratulati

Fork the project, prefix the command with your company name and tell them to use that command with the patch applied if they need it today. This solves all your problems.

Based on how we've set up social security, yes this is a problem.

Can you provide a reference for this data, I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking at. I deleted a previous comment on why I think the data I used is better for analysis but I want to confirm that this is what I think it is before I co

The raw data comes from the following sublink from the first link in that group "NHE Summary including share of GDP, CY 1960-2017 [ZIP, 27KB]"[0] I computed the table by hand. You can recompute it if you like. [0]: https:/&#

First: I know you're not stupid so I have no idea what you aren't understanding when it comes to veteran care costs increase during wartime. Of course they have a separate payer and provider system. That system is included in the

I wouldn't expect it to be clear unless you've studied the area for awhile but all of those are external shocks to the marketplace. Healthcare expenses increase during wartime since you have to treat newly injured veterans. That s

While the growth rates for healthcare have been lower over the past decade I would be hesitant to attribute it to the ACA. Most of the higher rates over the previous 30 years were due to landmark legislation increasing demand for services.

Last I checked Zoom avoids using WebRTC in favor of using media over websockets. This should obviate a lot of the reliability problems with enterprise networks that you would normally need to solve with STUN/TURN/ICE. I think the
