Yesterday was an historic day in the United States as Congress passed a landmark health care reform bill. This will see approximately 30 million more Americans receiving coverage. In honor of such a monumental event, I present to you this cluster of health care innovations.
In this cluster, you'll find everything from already existing technologies to futuristic concepts for hospitals and medicine. This health care reform bill may be costing the United States government several trillion over the next decade, so you can be assured that you will see some astounding breakthroughs in health care innovations in the near future.
