President Obama has no concept how to manage the change needed in the Healthcare arena. He has brought together some IVY League Doctors who live in Federally funded boxes. The real US healthcare dilema still exists simply because they have no clue how to fix it. Politics will not make a dent in the problem. We all know that the government has always been the problem. Lets do one thing right. Start with "IT" make every note and move available to all healthcare providers so we can be of real service to the patient and have the best of all worlds, real information garnered from all providers involved not just the select few.

The article posted in the Federal Computer Week web site on April 8th speaks of President Obama's creation of an Office of Health Reform. By creating this office within the White House, it shows Obama's dedication to making real change within healthcare to improve quality, decrease costs and increase access. The article states that the role of this person will be to break down barriers that occur across both the financial and health sectors within congress and other areas of government. By specifically naming both health and financial committees and governmental entities, it shows the understanding of the tie between health and wealth. Few others have shown this level of understanding regarding the overlap of the two issues.
