Another point to add: as far as ONC and CMS [the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services], they can point with pride to the fact that $7.7 billion is out the door [already disbursed to qualifying hospitals and clinicians under HITECH]. They have a task to really describe and raise the visibility of, what this money has accomplished, and set a preempt to House leadership who might put to doubt what this has accomplished So ONC and CMS have a public relations task ahead of them.

So you will be busy?

Oh, absolutely!
