There are ideas being put forth to reform the health care industry that could be of great benefit to us all. For those of us who want family health insurance, this could mean our money will stretch farther. The bottom line is that voices are calling for a more efficient system of records.

In one of a number of comprehensive articles, americanprogressaction.org seems to explain it in a way the layman can easily understand. The terminology used is "health information technology" or "HIT". This is a digital system for record keeping that experts say will save considerable money.

According to the article mentioned, health care is currently inefficient to the tune of 30 percent. That is both private health insurance, and Medicare "that shows 30 percent of the spending does not contribute to the improvement of health." If HIT is implemented, prices will change.
