Someone I know is a California parole system psychiatrist. Some days they drive over an
hour to get to their offices. They are currently being asked to drive 3 hours away.
(Some paths being snowbound tonight!)
Ca could greatly reduce its costs (for prison medical care) by allowing remote video
psychiatry. Ie, a $10 webcam and skype. I hear they have their own "secure" private
net, so that would ameliorate HIPAA worries. It would save gas and add to the productivity
of the physicians.
Of course, they could massively reduce costs by releasing nonviolent "drug" offenders and also by collecting taxes on cannibis. But they won't, dumbasses get the government they elect, so
there will be massive FAIL.
