about regarding obamacare. patient privacy, under the new health care law, doctors are required to switch from paper charts to electronic records by 2015. well that has many people asking, what is being done to keep their medical information private and keep it from paul falling in the hand of hackers? jonathan serrie looks at that live from atlanta. reporter: hi, jon. on come supers are already comfortable baining and shopping online. it was only a matter of time before patient records would enter the digital realm. many physicians say the move will cut costs and improve care over the current system where patients have separate paper charts at each medical practice they visit. we have a tremendous amount of information about our patients but the problem is that information is not easily accessible to everyone on the patient care team. including really the most important part of the patient team, the patient themselves. reporter: so under obamacare
what is so unreasonable about any of the proposals? what you just did is provided the context that is so often missing in these discussions about the shutdown. the basic context here is we have on the one side a president and a senate majority leader, harry reid, who absolutely refuse to negotiate, to talk about or even to possibly entertain maybe talking about any kind of changes in obamacare. on the other hand, we have the republicans in the house making the series of offers that you just described that basically are okay, let s talk about this or let s talk about this or let s talk about that. that, to me, is the reasonable approach to an issue. and that all happens in the context of the fact that about 2/3 of the american people have pretty effectively demonstrated in recent weeks that they want
implemented. we have 15 million, 16 million young kids on their parents plan. we have existing conditions who now have coverage and parents paying for prescription drugs. a lot has gone right. the exchange is if you get rid of the individual mandate which is the republican idea 11 million people will not have care. san diego is actually a fairly republican area too. i think that if you if you look at that area i am not entirely sure using that city is the best thing. looking at the national polling. i grant you that. it is divided. 24r is no over well ping there is overwhelming support for keeping the government and sew bough ma care going of the the and obamacare going. when it comes to november of 2014 they will not remember a random budget terry process they will remember if it was harder to get care and if they
