Mainframe Healthcare Is the Problem
The solution for better, lower cost, more accessible health care is distributed systems, self care instead of the centralized medical model.

A decentralized model promotes health, instead of medical treatment. There are hundreds of innovations for this model and all of them will lead to better health at lower costs.
