Grassley's letter was sent to numerous corporations. <br><br>I found your post very interesting, particularly your argument that healthcare IT companies are practicing medicine (even if by proxy) and as such should be held to a more rigorous regulatory standard regarding their software. I certainly agree that the status quo is grossly out of line with patients', providers', and even healthcare IT companies' best interests.
