Patients shall be custodian of the medical records and bring their medical record to the physician who adds to the information and gives it back to the patient in electronic or paper format. The payment system is the biggest impediment to creating a better healthcare system. It needs to be scrapped to make it simple and easily understood in order for it to become implementable in smallest practice or biggest practice with ease. The present system is making doctors, hospitals, allied and ancillary services have to pad their services to maximize their reimbursement so they can stay in business to pay their overhead and stay in business. This system encourages fraud and makes honest people to become dishonest. Governmental agencies then have to create fraud and abuse departments which escalate the costs further. Legal systems make doctors have to practice defensive medicine to cover their backs and lawyers prey on the drug companies, hospitals, and doctors. Lawyers and doctors need to be the fabric of society rather than impediments to progress of better health for it citizens.

I hope the president reads your letter and takes massive action on the ideas you are presenting. If the government allows the big traditional EMR companies and CCHIT to set "meaningful use" policy kiss 19 billion dollars down the drain. Keep the fight going!
