this includes, " Well, it might include things like giving an independent commission the power to ensure that Medicare only pays for procedures with real medical value; rewarding health care providers for delivering quality care rather than simply paying a fixed sum for every procedure".

Every patient will not fit a standard algorithm. Doctors will hopefully rebel if they try too hard to act like insurance companies do and deny care that the doc on the ground deems necessary. Every family doc I know is waiting to see how this plays out.
