DD! Stervc, going off your very thorough post about your conversation with public relations...In the new health care reform bill (the one congress is working on right now): ‘‘America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009’’
there is an entire section, roughly ten pages, about how the secretary of health's job must implement a standardized electronic system for the entire health system.

The bill specifies some details about the electronic system:

1) It will involve a data chip or swipe card that has not only your medical records but all of your financial records and data so that when you go to the doctor than can immediately swipe and tell you how much you are expected to pay, also, when you go to get insurance, they just 'swipe' and tell you which insurance plan you are eligible for.

2) It mandatory for EVERY PERSON to get health care, meaning that EVERY PERSON will have to have one of the swipe cards for the electronic system. That is about 300 million people.

3) Also, the system will be created to perform claims adjustedments and financial transactions (pay for medical care). Basically your entire life will be on this card.

4) The system must has a two year time frame to go into place.

Stervc, this sounds exactly like what you were talking about. If Medefile really has the best technology to do medical records this way, then they are the most qualified to help implement the program which will be putting 300 million people in the system.

Obviously, the bill has not passed yet, but it is apparent that this is the direction of health care records, payments, insuring, billing, and basically everything regarding the health system. No more arguing about claims and payments, just; "Swipe" and all your options are displayed in front of you.

Sounds like mark of the beast kind of stuff, and this is all very far down the road, but, still...

I won't post the bill text here, it is too much, but if anyone wants to read the section about the electronic system, it is section 163, or, pages 54-63 of the PDF version you can find here:
