        @Atul_Gawande This is remarkable, and yet it does nothing to remedy Wal-mart's other heinous deeds. I can't quite grok it.

        @Atul_Gawande similar to Oz Govt funding for public hospitals called DRGs. Not great. Good for payers, bad for suppliers.

        @Atul_Gawande when can we abandon fee for service and watch costs fall and efficiency rise? i hope this is a signal for 'soon'.

        @Atul_Gawande how can you work in a system that decides clinical priorities by insurance policy type. Seems bizarre to a British GP

        @Atul_Gawande Agreed, changing medicine. Bundled payment + limited network + medical travel. Unfortunately, only possible 4 BIG employers.

        @Atul_Gawande We certainly hope so. Unit cost + Utilization = Total Cost. Most focus only on the unit cost.

        @Atul_Gawande I guess Wal-Mart is all about socialized medicine now. Makes Obama look like a wanna-be. How is this not surreal?

        @Atul_Gawande Change medicine? Because of Walmart's size? Lowe's did the same deal in 2010, didn't they?
