Talk of Repealing Healthcare Law–How About the Expense of the IT Infrastructure Algorithm Resets And Costs That Would Be Required?

Ok so this is the side that maybe nobody thinks about. There has been talk about “starting over” but when it comes to data systems today and getting operations in place, does anybody give this any thought? The technology specialists do and have to create reports and devise budgets to cover all of this.

The insurance companies can easily discuss this cost and unless it proves to be a big ROI, they don’t want to do it either or these costs could be seen with even more increased policy costs, and I just wonder does anyone in the 70s and 8 Track era give this any thought before bringing this discussion public? It’s dangerous treading ground and the reason that members of Congress, both side, need to get those Algo Men in house and project what the cost of their plan would be AND every area of data that would be touched, AND all the contractors and data systems that would need alteration.

We are past the point of having the creative technologists being able to put these changes together quickly as there’s a ton of new code and algorithms and data sharing capabilities out there that didn’t exist even a few years ago.

In Coders We Trust: Laurel Ruma Describes Gov 2.0 As A Platform–Become an “Algo Man”

It’s not Superman, Spiderman or even Wonder Woman that creates solutions and become our heroes, it’s the “Algo Men” with all the data, algorithms and wisdom for innovation .

In addition, we need to be careful of those reports and algorithmic formulas too that are creating “desired” results that are not always “accurate” results and get sold a bill of goods. It wouldn’t hurt for every member of Congress or any politician for that matter to read this book and be fully aware of the dark side so they can ask the appropriate questions when studies are presented to ensure they are as correct as they can be and not be taken for a wild ride as those on Wall Street have done when greed enters the picture.

Certainly changes can be made but not to the point to disrupt and restart all current technologies as this is economic suicide as well as showing a lack of either participation or concern for the world we live in today being impacted every day with changing systems and software. In some areas, payables, that is a very expensive portion of healthcare that can keep feeding itself with costs growing without successful collaborative business models agreed upon and in place.

Forget all the talk and look at the underlying systems and what the algorithms will produce upon change. BD

Republicans regained control of the House on Tuesday in part with a pledge to "repeal and replace" the new health law. But carrying out that campaign promise won't be as easy as making it was.

"Republicans cannot repeal Obamacare with President Obama wielding the veto pen," says Michael Cannon, director of health policy studies for the libertarian Cato Institute. "I mean that's not within a set of possible outcomes."

One major way they can do that is by holding oversight hearings. Using subpoena power if necessary, Republicans could end up forcing Obama administration health officials to spend nearly as much time on Capitol Hill as they do in their offices actually trying to implement the law.
