Health IT
I am very skeptical of the so called increase in "health IT" spending by the Federal Government. It is not clear at all that the goals include improving the lives of an aging population. Given the direction of the new administration it would seem there is a troubling trend toward control as opposed to anything as noble as compassion for a significant portion of our population. The data collection and programs to help manage healthcare all sound good on the surface, but have some serious potential downsides that will insert the Government and "cost effective treatments" between you and your doctor. Show me the legislation that will provide grants, or tax breaks, to train and equip Seniors with laptop computers to stay connected with the world and I'll change my mind. One thing that comes with an aging mind is the ability to "smell a rat" before you see it!
