Another argument against socialized health care brought to you by IT

CNet is reporting that Hawaii is now testing a system where you can talk to a doctor online or over the phone for $10 if you are insured under the state's largest insurer, or $45 if you aren't. If you have a webcam, you can use that too so that you and your doctor can have a video chat session. Instead of having to go to a doctor's office and risk being exposed to more sick patients, someone in need of a doctor can have a quick consultation with a doctor to determine the severity of a problem and what to do about it.
