At least this one looks like it might be a bit more grounded in reality and has some potentially unique stuff I would be very curious to see including some of the figures in the 'Data Growth Analysis and Projected Patterns' section.

That alone could reduce overhead across the board and free up vast resources for patient care. Rather than blame HIT for adding overhead costs, why not demand a single payer system.

These systems will require $ billions in maintenance which will be money that otherwise would go to patient care. Overhead has just quintupled. Docotrs should avoid the temptaion to participate in this scheme that has no proven safety or efficacy.
