Every day the bizarre and strange makes the news and when you listen to this report from Rachel Maddow, you might feel the same. You can also view this entire bill here. Just about every law that is put into place today needs a system to run and if folks haven’t caught on yet, it’s more than likely not humans doing most of the work but it appears this light bulb has not gone on yet here?

Too bad that folks perhaps don’t read here at the Quack often enough or they might be aware of new technologies emerging and how is this going to work? One example I can cite here is an automated admitting machine for ER rooms at the hospitals. Ok, take their big plan and what they propose and the IT folks are going to scratch their heads big time if this were implemented at the time of admission to a hospital. <grin> Do you want to plug this little provision that is so important as a law into the machine? We want efficient doctors today and from what I am reading here this bill is totally counter active in that respect.
A Hospital Admitting Machine – And You Thought Kiosks Were State of the Art Machine – And You Thought Kiosks Were State of the Art
Below is a video from an embedded transistor company, Freescale that 
has a proto type of what this would look like and perhaps not that far out of the picture with the way technology is moving today.
Freescale is the semi conductor portion of the business, in other words the brain and the sensor controls uses on devices. This is interesting to see this concept and who knows when this may show up in the ER room. Now let’s go further and see what they want to do. You have a provision for a doctor to read out loud to tell you as a woman that a woman has an increased chance of breast cancer with an abortion? Huh? It’s not true and documented all over the place.
Digital illiteracy scares me and it’s happening with lawmakers at all levels all over the country and when I see a bill like this, even putting aside the fact that it is not true, I am seeing a real struggle for identify here and those I don’t feel are in touch with the real world today, that scares me.
So let me be sarcastic one more time, can we program this machine to do it? Medical devices that record data and move forward Health IT are all over the place today and we have some serious issues with so many out of touch. Perhaps watching this technology on where healthcare is today could scare some sense back into the picture.
Back on track here every law as I mentioned earlier needs a system to run and regulate it, so what’s their system? I’m just not seeing anything speculative in that area here. I also wrote about IBM Watson helping with Congress and predicted it would be sold on Wall Street and I have not heard any mention of anyone in Congress as seeing it be a tool to help make better intelligent decisions for creating laws. That’s ok though as the hedge guys will use it and take more of our middle class money, so I guess we pay now and we continue to pay later as digital illiteracy takes it toll along with some lack of just common sense.

I’m not alone as I read stuff from other geeks all the time on the web and we just want our lawmakers to have the ability to use the same intelligence to create effective laws and once and for all, stop taking knives to gun battles. It doesn’t do anything for how the public perceives them either and we end up with stories that are in the news that grab ratings, good and bad. Stick a “Fitbit” on these folks so they too can enjoy a little bit of healthcare technology and perhaps release the old paradigm of “its for those guys over there” and in this case it appears to be for those gals over there.
