Will Stimilus Bill Create New Franchise Opportunities?

With the massive economic stimulus package recently passed, I was wondering whether some of the bill's spending provisions will likely spur or spawn new franchise and business opportunities for entrepreneurs.

Here are two industries that in my opinion look likely to benefit significantly and possibly create viable new business or franchise opportunities to service them:

Heath Care: According to what I have read, the economic stimulus package includes nearly $20 billion dollars to digitize or computerize health and medical records in the USA. I would think this could present some serious potential opportunities for entrepreneurs because obviously private companies will be involved in providing services for this enormous and long trem project. I mean, how many hospitals and private doctors offices are there in the US? Who is going to scan all of their records?

Solar Power & Green Consulting: From what I have read the new stimulus bill creates and maintains significant incentives to develop and use solar energy and other renewable energy resources. Its no secret that that one of the Obama administration's main economic goals is to foster renewable energy alternatives and to create "Green" jobs. Therefore i think its likely that new franchising concepts opportunities will arise to capture and service this emerging new market whether it be solar panel installation services, solar & green consulting, solar & green products stores, and more.
