No. Well, yes. If you don't have one you cannot get into
"the market" in any significant way. IF you have one there
is little difference between vendors these days.

The situation is a bit schizophrenic - while there is little
to no difference between the billing modules available still
the billing module in itself is the main reason for the vast
majority of people to actually buy any IT system for their
medical office...

But they don't want to get into any competition in any way.
They just want to rule the market. Thus they kill or buy
their competitors. Strategic alliances aside - this isn't
medieval Japan warlordship.

Jedi like to employ waving their hand to exert the powers of
The Force upon their opponents. It don't work on digital

Sebastian tried. Putting more effort into it will do several
things:

- it makes you rich in the long run (politicians earn well)
- it gets you a new passport with the name Don Quixote (and
  fingerprints, obviously, here in Germany)
- it makes your Open Source Project die from lack of progress

Back to coding,
