Does Senator Grassley Have a PHR or an EHR That He is Aware of – Can He Read the Healthcare Bill on a Tablet PC or Kindle or Are We Still in the 70s

I think if he did, we would not have heard the comment he made about Senator Kennedy. Again, we are back to members of Congress that know cost is an issue, but no brains in how it is done, as they don’t use technology, they still run around with 1000 pages of printed bills, no use of a Tablet PC or Kindle to be more efficient, so I ask, where’s the knowledge?

It is sad truth that is appears none of the individuals who are debating this bill have much in the way of personal experience to lend, which is what healthcare is all about, it is a personal experience, one that can save your life.

Granted, there is still work to be done on the bill and hopefully that will progress, but to have comments like this made from those who are oblivious as to how healthcare is evolving just further cements the need for additional education at the Congressional level, so they can see the whole picture and get away from unfound picking and bickering comments such as these mentioned regarding Senator Kennedy. Where’s the personal hands on experience Senator Grassley with your own healthcare? BD

"They aren't for the Kennedy bill, or the Pelosi bill or Obama-care," Grassley said. "But they will tell you about the third of the dollars we spend on care are wasted in America, and we've got to change things."
