Obama's next big thing is electronic medical records. In itself, not a particularly bad thing However, he desires the program be controlled by the government. An even larger disaster waiting to happen than the present one.
On this forum, on another thread, I showed where the UK attempted such a nationwide program. After wasting $14 billion, the program was just abandoned in favor of a regional one -- their regions equal about one US county.
The present medical record system contained about 17,000 codes representing different diseases and injuries. Now, there will be about 140,000 such codes. Does anyone see another disaster in the wings awaiting a crash?

Supposedly, the Democrats wish to implement single payer healthcare, eliminating insurance companies entirely. Google the wait for VA patient processing for an education.
Only Canada and the Soviet Union ever attempted single payer. The Canadian Supreme Court ended theirs as it was akin to torture awaiting treatment by specialists.
Czarist Russia was the major global exporter of wheat. The Soviet Union attempted central planning of agriculture -- certain their bureaucrats knew better than the local farmers on when to plow, use fertilizer, plant and harvest. The results were 60 years of "bad weather". And, the emergence of the US as the major exporter of wheat and other grains Sixty years of bad weather, well, global warmists are left wingers, too.
Our own home grown lefties think they can do better than the present system. Hilarity will not ensue, only misery,
