Does China Benefit From America's Health Care Reform?

Aside from the dubious benefit of turning $300+ per hour physicians into minimum-wage data input clerks, as they waste their time in entering computer data into terminals rather than spend their time actually talking to, examining and thinking about patients, there are other problems with the push to computerizing health care records.

Most of the computer equipment that I see these days has Chinese origin.I don 't fault Chinese engineers and entrepreneurs from developing their computer system production capacity and quality, but I do believe that a big chunk of the   "computerized medical records" budget will not lower America's  health care costs, will not create jobs in the health care industry and will not improve health care. But it will result in a huge American demand for Chinese-origin computer systems which will funnel money right out of American health care and into China's coffers, aggravating our economic recovery, unemployment and America's trade deficit with China. Not only will the push to computerize America's health records weaken our dollar, but as the New York Times points out today, "Little Benefit Seen, So Far, in Electronic Patient Records".
