Obama and Biden Blast EHR Vendors for Data Blocking
As they are winding their terms in office, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden dropped a stink bomb on the health IT industry. Speaking at different events on Friday, January 9th, the President and Vice President both criticized proprietary electronic health record (EHR) vendors as the primary obstacle to the success of their administration’s health care strategy. This is the highest level acknowledgment so far of the serious impact that “lock-in” EHR software vendors are having on America’s medical infrastructure and the ability of physicians to provide medical care.
Obama's Electronic Medical Records Scam
Here’s more evidence that government “cures” are inevitably worse than the “diseases” they seek to wipe out. Buried in the trillion-dollar stimulus law of 2009 was an electronic medical records “incentive” program. Like most of President Obama’s health care rules, this top-down electronic record-sharing scheme is a big fat bust. Oversight is lax. Cronyism is rife. The job-killing and privacy-undermining consequences have only just begun.

ObamaCare as Corporatists United: A Huge Bailout for Another Failing Industry
The ideology that drives the Supreme Court, the political administration and the Congress is not Conservative or Liberal but can best be described as Corporatist. This is the ideology that affirms that “corporations are citizens, my friends.” It is the ideology that drove the Roberts court to the odious Citizens United decision. It is the ideology behind a bailout for banks that are "too big to fail." And it is the ideology that allows Congress to pass a law like the ACA that is essentially written by a favored industry.

Obamacare Website Source Code: 'No Reasonable Expectation of Privacy'
The launch of federal government's Obamacare insurance exchange, Healthcare.gov, has been plagued with delays, errors, and poor website design, even prompting USA Today to call it an "inexcusable mess" and a "nightmare". Now comes another example of why the website's reputation is in tatters. Buried in the source code of Healthcare.gov is this sentence that could prove embarrassing: "You have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communication or data transiting or stored on this information system."

Obamaneycare: Trotskyite Takeover or Big Company Bail out?
It's almost too perfect. Of all the GOP candidates President Barack Obama could possibly face in the 2012 election, he's been matched against Mitt Romney. As presidential opponents tend to be, Romney and Obama are on opposite sides of nearly every policy issue – not least, if only ostensibly, healthcare.

Obama’s Surprising Answer on Which Part of Obamacare Has Disappointed Him the Most
There was this moment, about 50 minutes into our interview with President Barack Obama last week, that genuinely surprised me (and surprised other health care journalists, like David Nather, too). My colleague Ezra Klein had asked the president a question about which part of the law had overperformed his expectations, and which part of the law had underperformed. The president gave a surprisingly frank assessment of something his administration has tried, and failed, to do: Get doctors off paper and on to digital medical records...
