Much as one might wish it to be true, the reality is more complex than that. Even now, with the fate of "ppaca" dangling by a thread, implementation of it continues.
Due to health problems within my family for the past many years I have been in a lot of medical facilities, from doctor's offices to hospitals. About three years ago I noticed a rash of notices in all these facilities. "Please be patient with us, we are implementing a new computer program," or words to that effect.
One could easily happen, two, maybe, but, everyone we went into? Too coincidental to believe. Computers were being "upgraded" with data storage programs that talk to each other. Central location, accessible by the medical establishment and Uncle Sam's helpers.
Look up Dr Janda's youtube talk about when and how "death panels" were created.
We will never get back to where we were. The best that can be hoped for is to mitigate the damage.
America wasn’t built on idiots.
some of that data tranfer stuff was in the PORKLUS bill and OCARE so the drs/hospitals have had 3 yrs to implement this stuff. I saw it in my own family dr’s off ice not more than two months ago, all setup and ready to be used, he even had the er dr and a consult note from when I was in the hospital the week before..
