but you can't find it in the health care bill.. why??

it was jammed into the stimulas bill

The stimulus package enacted hastily by Congress in February contains a provision that has not one whit to do with stimulating the economy. That provision creates a National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. This office is intended to make sure seniors get care that is appropriate, but only—yes only—what is “cost effective.”

The stimulus bill promises monetary incentives for doctors and hospitals that adopt electronic recordkeeping quickly and steep penalties for those who do not. Once they are signed up, government oversight of “cost effective” measures begins.

Only too late will Americans learn nationalized health insurance by no means assures equal access.

cost effective... ?? like... a government agency which can reject treatments, using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years of life an older patient is likely to benefit.

sounds like a death panel to me..
