Happy Squirrel - I think the issue is the economics of it.
If it would save a lot of money, and would also generate a lot of money for software sales....Why does the government need to get involved? This is a for-profit program, why does it need subsidy? Why does the government need to meddle?
This is an economic transaction, not a governmental one. I suspect that there's something in the system that we're not being told of truthfully.
I am 100% certain that if there was money involved in it, or there was demand from the healthcare field, there'd be entrepreneurs out there to capitalize on the situation. Since there is not (from what I've seen), there are 2 possibilities:
1) The savings really aren't as high as argued
2) Investors don't realize how much $$$ could be made in this
Under either possibility, it still shows that the government shouldn't throw away it's money to push someone on something else. Why can't the government save the $$$ and...You know....Try to pay down that multi-trillion dollar debt for once?
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
