True Importance of Health Information Technology Public Utility Act

The buzz in the open source health community is more alive than ever. With the proposal of the "Health Information Technology Public Utility Act of 2009" by Senator Jay Rockefeller this week, the open source health community not only is finally being politically acknowledged on a national level but their systems could be truly used to benefit hundreds of Americans. If the bill is passed, there would be a wide spread use of open source health systems. This could greatly reduce the U.S. spending for mandates for the adoption of health IT systems as well as give access to hundreds of Americans in isolated, rural communities. The open source health community is already aware of the the endless benefits open source can provide. The importance of the bill's proposal is that others are becoming aware of the benefits as well.

Here is the link for the actual bill proposal, and the updates on the bill can be followed here.
