In an essay that ties together recent exposés of serious IT security flaws (starting with Operation Aurora ) and a culture of secrecy that pervades the IT industry and industries who use IT, I ask the question: Is universal healthcare IT really a good idea in 2010?

Before I can even begin reflecting on the past few days, I have to thank NESCent again for their generous travel grant which allowed me to go to Science Online in the first place.
