<<<The complexity of health care data requirements are far more difficult from a systems viewpoint than such applications as taxation>>>

My guess, from a person who knows very little about this subject, is that there is a finite number of data elements in any persons basic health record and an equal or lesser amount in each patients transaction record. The transactions are all fairly well defined by diagnistic codes.

I would have thought that rules for taxation would be more variable and less systematic. But what do I know?

I am confident however that health care data can be systematized and computerized making things a lot easier for a lot of people. The solution exists.
