But then, see, he got fame and fortune which tend to ruin everyone in this country. Even Moore forgets where he came from.

Now Internet pundits are saying the healthcare industry should look to Internet giants Amazon for ideas on how to bring healthcare into the 21st century. Anna Maria Virzi, writing on the ClickZ network, says that patients should have access to information about their health records in the same way UPS or Amazon tracks package deliveries. read more » |
