This is the way I see the progression of recent American history. Unfortunately, the South was always a bastion of fee-for-service care; it still largely is. Managed care has largely failed us because it was largely managing costs, not care, in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Providers talk about value-based care, and “better” is better, but “better” is very hard to define. This field is very trendy right now. I’m a big advocate for pay-for-performance, but you have to be able to measure performance. So, what’s next? The bottom line is that “better” is still way too expensive. Health costs are …

Through this memorandum, the Department of Justice reaffirmed its commitment to prosecuting not only corporations, but to hold their executives personally liable for regulatory violations committed under …
