The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services controls a vast trove of information about the American health system, covering everything from clinical trials and drug recalls to health insurance programs. HHS Chief Technology Officer Bryan Sivak is also the department's “Entrepreneur in Residence,” in charge of "liberating" public health data and making it available to developers, journalists and patients. He joins Tech Tuesday to discuss the future of government data and the health apps of tomorrow.

Kaiser is NOT an answer to our health care issues. My father was loving their preventive interventions, but when he actually got sick with lung cancer, their system failed on a catastrophic level. There was no coordination of care and an apathy toward his suffering. it's a factory system and misses the most important part of medical care--the personal contact.
