Biden Announces $1.2B Grant for Health Records
(Yahoo! News)
WASHINGTON - Vice President Joe Biden plans to announce Thursday nearly $1.2 billion in grants to help hospitals transition to electronic medical records.
Biden and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius were set to detail in Chicago how that piece of the
$787 billion economic stimulus plan would help Americans when they go to the hospital or their doctors. It also is a what's-in-it-for-me way for the White House to illustrate how it is spending parts of the massive amount of taxpayer dollars.
