Actually, the electronic tracking was brought up a few years ago in the last administration but they did a lousy job of selling and implementing. BUT, I am not sure that it had a provision that specifically allows what this article implies, and that is the montoring of treatment by the government to insure they agree on the treatment.

I can see many merits except that "monitoring" is bothersome. But this bill is on the fast track and trying to wade through all the implications is next to impossible thus I suppose we need to live with it. There is much in this stimulus bill that is not DIRECTLY tied to economic recovery !!!
