Healthcare 2010

This new decade has had a very intresting start, it's a new year, new decade, we have a new president, and healthcare is going down the drain!!! In a recent article from the NY Daily Times they claim the country as a whole spends two trillion plus on healthcare a year. According to The Wall Street Journal there are forty-six million Americans who don't have any coverage at all and around fourteen-thousand that lose there coverage due to loss of job etc. Is this what we want for our Healthcare system? Could this potentially open up new positions in IT?
