Absolutely true. Not only was VistA developed from US Congressional
funding, it was inspired by USA VA doctors and administrators who are
paid by the US government, in a language developed by a team of USA
doctors at Mass General funded by the USA NIH and maintained by VA
programmers paid from the US Treasury.

VistA and the rest is history. Certainly, the good old US of A is not
the right country. Quite the contrary. If VistA had to depend on the
US Gov for its survival, it would be long dead.>>
If it were not for the US government (in the form of the Veterans Administration) paying for the years and years of development, VISTA would not exist today. As a matter of fact, if it weren't for the VAs persistent spending on VISTA it would have died long ago.
