Newt Gingrich on the Importance of Modernizing Healthcare

In an editorial at American.com, Newt Gingrich outlined how the Medical industry is still living an "analog" lifestyle in a "digital" age.

Healthcare is the final major indus­try still clinging to the past. When was the last time you took out a pen, wrote out a check to cash, and then handed it to a bank teller? Online banking, debit cards, and a worldwide, interconnected ATM network wiped away the old paradigm. When was the last time you called every airline to check your flight options, and then had a ticket with multi­ple copies for each leg of your trip delivered to your mailbox? Expedia, Travelocity, and other websites have put consumers squarely in the driver’s seat.
