Google takes over hospital industry, CMS in private leveraged buyout

Read the headline?  Those are things that just aren’t going to happen, right?

Well, I’m pretty sure the things that we can expect for the next few years will end up looking just about that strange when we read about them a decade later.

My personal faves are a) Accountable care organizations dominate U.S. healthcare system, b) Most hospitals are connected to doctors via EMR and c)  Emergency departments no longer swamped with uninsured patients.

Anyone else want to volunteer “future headlines” — stuff that might come true but seems impossible at the moment? Or stuff that should happen but just can’t?  Sarcastic or serious, your choice.

So, you got your crystal ball out?  I’ll publish all of your predictions, crazy or not. 🙂
