"Healthcare
vendors are in a much better position now based on the current
technology to be able to focus on interoperability issues.
Legacy vendors need to come to grips with the fact that keeping
closed systems is not going to be to their advantage." |

The number of
uninsured declined to 28.3 million in the first quarter of 2018,
down from 29.3 in 2017, and 48.6 million in 2010, the year the
Affordable Care Act was signed into law. About one in four
Hispanics lacked coverage while 14.1 percent of non-Hispanic
blacks, 8.9 percent of non-Hispanic whites and 6.1 percent of
non-Hispanic Asians lacked coverage. The number of adults who
lacked health insurance for more than one year declined from 32
million in 2010 to 14.9 million in the first quarter of this
year.
