Title: RE: [ihc] RE: [egov] US Bill to sponsor interoperability in healthcare funding.
But some would argue that the US has the worlds
finest National Unhealthy services - and that
giant corporations are toiling night and day to
ensure citizen remain unhealthy so they
can exploit the situation for profit.
Self-maintenance can obviously save you a bunch of
money here....

Doesn't want to
imply...that the US has a
national (read "public", certainly in Europe)
health service? rather than a nationwide health
service...

Hi
Brett,
I believe it may simply be a
matter of semantics. The person who made the statement (or as I understand the
statement to mean) was Mary Forbes. She said that the name change was made
because they did not want to imply ______ (and it's that blank that I don't
recall).
Hope that helps - at least a
bit.

Hi Joe, I suppose that change means something, but I
don't know what it is?

I understand from yesterday's Data Reference
Model (DRM) Public Forum
that the National Health Information Network is
now going to be referred
to as the Nationwide Health Information
Network.
