Well perhaps that is true, but having someone who is dieing because the surgery is failing is a bit different than someone who's dieing because you can't remember some login's passcode.

And of course then these delays compound over time and adversely affect the entire system.

Designing good software which meets government legalese constraints (which are guaranteeedly absurd in certain instances, in wording, and nature (while others will make perfect sense and still be just as hard to implement)) in extremely complex situations (health care systems with millions of users with an outstanding number of providers of different sizes, with different conditions, and medications, and the stringency of the privacy requirements).

That's tough.

It'll be really neat to see the progression of software through time. It'll be neat if what we see today is the Model T to the Tesla (X?) of tomorrow (+~110 Years).
