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.

 

Joe

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.
