Here I go popping off about how grossly over rated the savings for healthcare information technology when all of the sudden, my home state announces a $500 Million initiative to be a “national laboratory” on whether implementing such technology will cut healthcare costs and improve people’s health.
It won’t-I Promise. Google and others offer it for free!
Don’t you think spending $500 million on curbing the state’s terrible health and diabetes/obesity/smoking incidence makes more sense?
In fact, raise the taxes on cigarettes (KY tax on tobacco is amongst the lowest) and cure 2 things at once!
