The change isn't something where you just pass a law / flip a switch, and everything is better. It's HARD.
I bet a ton of these bureaucratic approve/deny/request-more-information workflows in current EMR systems will be replaced by AI in a few years, putting the people out of work.
Once AI eats their jobs, less resistance to changing the system.
Trillionaires with killbot armies: "No, I'm not seeing what you're seeing at all"
The EU AI act prevents exactly this scenario.

I never have,” Obama said, continuing on the healthcare theme. “Everybody who supports single-payer healthcare says, ‘Look at all this money we would be saving from insurance and paperwork.’ That represents 1 million, 2 million, 3 million jobs of people who are working at Blue Cross Blue Shield or Kaiser or other places. What are we doing with them? Where are we employing them?”
