That’s the way I was reading it. I fail to understand why so many think universal health care is a wonderful idea, most especially given the way the Democrats have run their primary. On any given day you can hear someone on talk radio, for instance, give an alternative to try to help the current health care situation without resorting to universal health care, and I don’t understand why those ideas aren’t more mainstream because to me they make a lot more sense.
“Healthcare Analytics is currently developing the scoring system, and to do so they are collecting patient data from hospital systems with a combined $100 billion in annual net revenue.”
So - do you suppose those whose data is currently being collected has been asked if they want to participate in this study?
“So - do you suppose those whose data is currently being collected has been asked if they want to participate in this study?”
Isn’t that violation of HIPPA, assuming they did not get permission for the records first?
This is a bad idea. If healthcare is doled out on the basis of a credit score, it will only feed the Democrat class-envy/warfare machine and will make it a cinch for them to institute socialized medicine to take care of the people who don’t have coverage. Then, like most government programs, it will balloon into an enormous bureaucracy and drain our economy like an old time blood-letting session. Which is why I asked who’s side these people are playing on. It ain’t on the side of free markets.
