U.S. Health Care Reform Subject of iPhone App

By pete_gallagher

Want to learn more about U.S. health care reform in a simple program with a quiz-like interface? There's an app for that.

People Operating Technology has launched the free iPhone & iPod Touch application Death Panel in the Apple Store. Promised to be '100% non-political,' the app's quiz questions and facts are fed by data collected from the White House website, StateHealthFacts.org, the NCHC.org, and FactCheck.org.

Players take the role of an office holder who 'must stand on a virtual platform and answer questions correctly about health care from an anxious public.' Twitter and Facebook integration lets users share their scores too.

People Operating Technology co-founder Jason Petralia stated, 'Mobile technology provides a fascinating medium though which businesses and other organizations can gain mindshare. We made Death Panel to shed some light on a hot topic in a compelling way.'

Death Panel also contains a Geo-locational who's who of congressional members, showing their home state, political affiliation and lobbyist funds received.
