Congress Health IT Bill and Cerner Lobbying

Posted by Ignacio Valdes, MD, MS on Saturday June 28, @10:08PM
from the interesting-developments dept.
Alberto Borges, MD writes in with news that a major Health IT bill is up for approval in Congress and that Cerner spent $180,000 in lobbying the government in the 1st quarter alone. Might the passage of this bill heavily favor the formation of a cartel of proprietary vendors? Dr. Borges also has a presentation from 04/2008 on many subjects, including positions or lack thereof of Presidential candidates on Health IT.
