"Meaningful Users"
"Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is important, but enforcing uniformity goes too far. Hospitals and doctors that are not 'meaningful users' of the new system (forced on them by Obama's "stimulus bill") will face penalties. 'Meaningful user' isn’t defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary [a "faceless bureaucrat -RT], who will be empowered to impose 'more stringent measures of meaningful use over time.' " (Quote from "Cafe Hayak") What that means is if your doctor doesn’t ”obey orders,” he/she will be penalized. If he/she thinks what the government thinks is good for you will kill you and doesn’t do it, he will suffer. And what constitutes “meaningful user” is subjective, and subject to DEFINITION by the federal czar. (Just common sense)
