@Atul_Gawande@nytimes Some room for medical entrepreneurs? -
@UdadisiSuperior@Atul_Gawande in a functioning system yes, but many barriers to entry laid out in that piece. Political capture all the way -
@brettkeller@Atul_Gawande I meant Belgian entrepreneurs. Or, in general, medical entrepreneurs outside the US. -
@brettkeller@Atul_Gawande not defending the status quo . . . if more Americans go abroad incentives within the US might change. -
