RE: U.S. CTO: Better cybersecurity, better health care
Innovation is ideas put into practice. The people with the ideas are not being paid, they are anonymous, stolen from, victims without their IP and Trade Secrets for business opportunities.

"Getting it right about security" will be difficult to do if one thinks it is digital medicine. How do they intend to secure the optical waveforms to the digital devices of a heart pacemaker, for example? Satellites are already neutral. Do they have control over global uplinking from the minds of others? Surely not.

It's a very bad joke and a perfect example of the Bureaucrats making scientific decisions for market forces. The Government could not even protect critical databases of their own from the Chinese Conficker Botnet! More importantly, what about those persons already RFID tagged and implanted with antennas, whose codes were stolen or sold?

These persons have to first be freed, with the exception of those who are no longer alive, and secured first, along with their rights to information that was taken from them via new means and methods, like digital/optical brain interfaces.

It might be better to wait until the probe by the Justice Department is completed before jumping into a global market of enslaved forced health care patients who no longer have a decision about how their time.

Ideas are spent like freeware under the false label of "information sharing", known in past times as Communism. So are memories and experiences. Do you want yours stored and replayed as entertainment for future generations as an anonymous source?

Parenting is another issue not being discussed here. At what point does that change to outsourced mind controllers with terminals elsewhere, making decisions for "health care" reasons for parents, concerning their children.

Underlying all of this is a clear plan to make social engineering a defacto business model for network controllers, all of it disguised as remote medicine.

We have the rights to our own bodies, thoughts and time... for a little while.

>> The president was very clear in his statement in May when announcing our cyber-security strategy. That we as a nation have both a challenge to keep the openness of the internet, to, to support the culture of innovation that we've seen all across not just the Valley but other parts of the country as well in terms of spurring game-changing ideas and products and services. While at the same time we have a real and, and growing cyber-security threat. The president's remarks there really affect this question on health care. It is not a question of one or the other. That becomes a false choice. The question is if we get the cyber-security framework right, it could fuel the next wave of growth on the internet infrastructure. I would say the same is true in health care. If we get the security and privacy aspects right, and instill the kind of confidence the American people have that in fact it will be secure and used in the right way; I think it will fuel a wide-ranging set of product innovations that will at least inspire the consumer market to ask for more than they are today because there's legitimate concern. But more often than not, the challenge is, I would say there's two more things I would say to your remarks. Number one, the president's also been clear that we need fundamental payment reform as a component of our migration towards digital health. That is, if our system today rewards sickness and care, it doesn't really help that you do an electronic visit or text message the, the pregnant mother who you're trying to keep on prenatal care so that she avoids a preterm birth. So the incentives are not today designed to encourage that type of front-end prevention wellness activity. So as the president has said very clearly, as we shift -- again health reform is the key, ladies and gentlemen. If we get health reform through, it will allow us to create a market incentive to promote that kind of wellness and care which hopefully when coupled with security and privacy protections and, and instilling confidence could spur a new wave of innovation to deliver on this. In fact, that was a large part of the discussion I had this afternoon on what -- just some of the ideas that are cooking in this community to get it done. I'll make one final observation: many people say in health care, "Well, the physicians don't like technology." Let me share with you this story: there isn't a doctor in America that I know today who has not downloaded a copy of a product called Epocrates. Ask your local doctor, "Do you have Epocrates?" It is health care IT. It is a tool that allows them to make better judgments about your medical, your medication usage. And it's an accessible format. And they all have found a way to adopt it and use it. They have it on their Treos, their Blackberries, their iPhones, and that, that gives me confidence that if we build better products and got the payment incentives right, you're going to see game-changing innovation.
