I’m baffled by the number of people who think Harvard had a choice between undermining a norm vital to the criminal justice system or making a small number of its own marginally less happy with their dorm experience... and concluded that the dorm experience was more important.

Not a vital norm. This was a mercenary decision by a lawyer. Weinstein is no indigent client, Sullivan is not a court-appointed attorney. Sullivan's decision was crass. I think he's a great guy. Was even his intern once. Still, gross decision, and they are free to object.

And while I think Sullivan has put a lot more good in the world than most, that doesn't mean he is beyond criticism, or that every choice about representation is defensible. Why not big tobacco next? Or Exxon for their AGW science suppression? These are choices.

Would you judge surgeons based on who they operate on?

No. Medicaid reimbursement is lower than that from a good insurance plan, but certainly not orders of magnitude lower—not even close to one order of magnitude lower. The differential is significantly less than two-fold in general.

True, a surgeon might have to eat his charge if the patient is uninsured and doesn’t have Medicaid, but thankfully, due to the
#ACA, such patients are a lot less common than they used to be.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

I think almost all of my operations must just go into my hospital’s deductions, when a patient of mine has insurance it’s a shock to the whole team.

I guess I'm lucky that most of my patients have Medicaid at least!
