The reason why I come back to this is because of a publication in Health Data Management, published 1 June, by Howard Anderson, Survey Shows Americans Want EHRS. This survey was mentioned earlier, during the week of the Health2.0 conference. It amazed me then, but now even more, when a journal like HDM refers to it. Why I mention it? It was a telephone survey of 1,238 randomly selected respondents. Have we gone so far as to call a survey of 1,238 persons on a total population of 306m  representative in any way? And draw conclusions from it, just because it seems to favour those who want to get the EHR move going, as respectable as their goal may be.
