Is there any evidence that this is having an impact?

Does anyone care that this “stimulus” money is subject to the grossest abuses? That it will be misapplied? That most of it is being doled out to people who have already implemented these technologies and now are getting a little gloss on top?

This is Dr. Scott Shreeve at The Health Care Blog.
