"Here’s what I can tell you for sure: Texas Health contracts with Epic Systems for its electronic-medical-records (EMR) system — and the Dallas hospital isn’t the only client that has complained about its costly information-sharing flaws and interoperability failures.
Epic was founded by billionaire Judy Faulkner, a top Obama donor whose company is the dominant EMR player in the US health-care market.
The firm’s Top 10 PAC recipients are all Democratic or lefty outfits, from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (nearly $230,000) to the DNC Services Corp. (nearly $175,000) and the America’s Families First Action Fund super-PAC ($150,000).
Faulkner, an Obama campaign-finance bundler, served as an adviser to David Blumenthal.
He’s the White House health-information-tech guru in charge of dispensing the EMR subsidies that Faulkner pushed President Obama to adopt. Faulkner also served on the same committee Blumenthal chaired."

Stock in the Ebola treatment manufacturers is skyrocketing too, especially the company behind ZMAPP.
ZMAPP was available right on time when it was needed to cure the two Americans who were rushed to the US for treatment.
Never letting a crisis go to waste, even if one has to be created (or allowed) first.
Cronyizm? In DC? Who would have thunk it?
