Gurley cites $44 billion Obama program paying doctors for EHR where Epic's CEO sat on the advisory board.
“Obama administration came up with this program where they spent $44,000,000,000 paying doctors to implement EHR systems.”
Gurley notes Epic's CEO was the only corporate representative on Obama's health IT council and was a major donor.
“Obama put her on his health IT council. She was the only corporate representative. Should not surprise you that, she's a major donor to Obama.”
Gurley says DOJ fined Epic competitors $155 million, $57 million, and $145 million for lacking mandated features.
“But they got the Department of Justice to enforce people that didn't have the feature set that were getting the payments, and you had three record fines, 155,000,000, 57,000,000, 145,000,000 against the lesser competitors of Epic. Unreal.”
Gurley says Obama's stimulus included $38 billion paying doctors $44,000 each to buy EHR software.
“Doctors would receive $44,000 each if they bought software. $38,000,000,000. This is true. You can look it up. I'm not making it up. $44,000, give it to a doctor, implement some software.”
Gurley describes $38 billion program paying doctors $44,000 each to buy electronic health record software.
“They came up with a brilliant idea. I have to assume she helped encourage this. Doctors would receive $44,000 each if they bought software. $38,000,000,000.”
