Sat, 03 Sep 2011 02:38:25 +0100 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3718364&cid=t_143668_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fgovernment-healthcare-site-launches%2F Today a new government site launched, Healthcare.gov, aiming to inform the public about what their best (and cheapest) options for insurance are, and what changes will take place under the new healthcare bill. Sounds like a good idea to us. It might piss off insurance companies, but it seems like a step in the right direction for the American public. Not only does it make information more accessible, but you can even follow the site on Twitter @HealthCareGov for up-to-date information about insurance and health care. We doubt their tweets will make you LOL as much as some Twitter buds, but they’ll probably help save you money and get better health care.

A good list of additional accounts is available at http://www.newmedia.hhs.gov/tools/twitter.html. I particularly like this emergency preparedness and response account from the CDC; it’s mostly swine flu tweets at present, but emergency info seems like a good use of the format. @disabilitygov also seems like a good one, and will be...
