is a good idea? That's a great idea. I've been pushing it all along. We really do need to introduce some technology to our record keeping, not just our laboratories.

I read what you posted. Which doesn't explain why their costs are allegedly so cheap. I have no idea if the article paints a realistic picture about the system. I don't trust things that sound like fan letters for socialist systems - like sicko for example. <<Taiwan has an insurance card with an IC chip that provides essential medical records and collates prescription and treatment data - which is not only better for the patient's health but averts billing fraud.>> is a good idea? Is it possible to learn anything from others? That chip idea may be a great practical idea. Let's let insurance providers adopt as they think it makes sense.
