This is getting some press lately. Instead of the present system whereby each individual test, procedure, etc. is billed for (usually at insanely inflated rates), a provider would be evaluated periodically on "wellness metrics" and be compensated based on the aggregate performance of its care (i.e. fewer sick people = bigger payout).

Sounds like it has some merits but the biggest problem I have is who enforces the standards and performs the metrics analysis? Government? Oversight group? Individual insurance companies? Someone else? There's obviously a lot of room for corruption to enter this.

Just curious to hear some perspectives/opinions on this idea that's being batted around...
