Here we are, well into 2025, and the U.S. healthcare system is still in complete dysfunction. Costs are out of control, access is still a mess, and despite a decade of technological advancement, patients are stuck navigating a system that prioritizes billing codes over actual health outcomes.
Read MoreIf you’ve ever tried to get your medical records from one doctor to another, only to be told they’ll fax them over (because apparently, it’s still 1997 in healthcare), you know interoperability is a disaster. The same goes for finance. Have you ever waited days for a loan approval while banks shuffled paperwork back and forth like it was a middle school group project?
Read MoreAh, the age-old battle: Brand Marketing vs. Performance Marketing. A rivalry as pointless as arguing whether coffee or sleep is better for productivity. (A BIG obvious LeDuh here: you need both.)

Yet the promise of that legislation is now at risk of being undermined by policies that favor short-term economic gains over long-term public health and sustainability.

While it tackles the technical barriers to data-sharing, it leaves a critical issue unresolved: who owns the data?
