| The nation is demanding and spending billions to ensure that we have a
| high-performance Health Information Technology infrastructure. The ARRA of
| 2009 allows proprietary companies to put up tollbooths and black boxes
| everywhere at taxpayer expense with little or no guarantees of the ability of
| the public to audit, innovate, study, fix or extend the software to ensure
| high performance, privacy, security, fitness, or upgradeablility can occur.
