This was an interesting discussion on the reasons for / against changing how access works. The context is Canadian, but some of the points carry over to other jurisdictions as well.
Personally I’m not sure what the best system is, but I do know that I don’t want companies to fill the gap.
Having a reliable and recommended FOSS alternative from the start would do so much good. I know my province has worked on open standards in the past, so I’m hoping something like that could be extended
Whatever the path forward, we couldn’t go far wrong from banning Telus as a provider and/or developer in this space. Speaking as an end-user and former programmer, I think Saskatchewan’s eHealth system might be some of the worst software I’ve ever seen released at this scale.
