Health IT bills stall in Congress

American Medical News - 10/23/06 - Health information technology 
legislation that was once on the fast track is now in peril on Capitol 
Hill, bogged down by disagreements over several issues that directly 
affect physicians. The Health Information Technology Promotion Act of 
2006 received House approval in July. Since then, lawmakers have tried 
to build consensus between the measure and the Wired for Health Care 
Quality Act, a significantly different version of the legislation that 
passed the Senate last year.
