        @Atul_Gawande be careful how you incentivize. But we knew this & the specific drug example before #MedicareData.

        @Farzad_MD @Atul_Gawande We also need to see the value shopping consumer that is an empowered patient emerge to change this dynamic.

        @atul_gawande @paulg great example of how effective incentives are in healthcare - imagine what we could achieve if we just re-aligned them!

        @Atul_Gawande of course docs should be paid well, but incentives must be thought through. Incentives do influence behavior.

        @Atul_Gawande it is so indicative of how messed up things are that there are actually several who defend these incentives.

        @Atul_Gawande What about Medicare using it's purchasing power to stop paying so much for these drugs?

        @Atul_Gawande Taking incentives away for treating not a good idea. Instead, CMS should manage Formularies like private insurers.
