Thanks Rwebb. I knew it was a matter of time before folks started reporting on this aspect.

The question is "who pays," and no one raises their hands. Likely a little overly simplistic, but one must consider capitation, et cetera.

Just last Fall I met the leader of a local system's innovation activity-- may have mentioned that in this thread or another thread. He was on a panel on the future of healthcare.

After the panel discussion I introduced myself to him and we almost instantly agreed that there are perhaps increasing challenges at the intersections between capitalism and healthcare. Then we kind of winked at one another.
