The most dangerous biases are those that aren't readily apparent https://t.co/rv11BkKUGJ

I'm shaken to the core by this upcoming revelation....

Next question: does performance on core quality measures predict quality of doctor? https://t.co/KgPfsSUvEc

@ethanjweiss Seems it's becoming an industry driven not by the "rights" and "interests" of the consumer but those of lobbyists. (Sounds familiar. :)

[Rocky D. Bilhartz MD @BilhartzMD]

@ethanjweiss And its price will soar. (But the reasonable question to reflect upon is who will this benefit more? The consumer or the State?)

[Rocky D. Bilhartz MD @BilhartzMD]

Only strikes me as a little bit #puzzling coming from Cali: Vitamins need more regulation, while cannabis needs less? ;) https://t.co/5R30qn1pSC

[Ethan J. Weiss @ethanjweiss]

Read this terrific piece and you will learn more about an industry that really needs more regulation regardless of your politics https://t.co/UqBOcoJIdy

Fellow liberal physicians: if you decry meaningless mandates, snicker at EMR- you're Hayekian too #unleashyourinnerHayek :) https://t.co/agxnfpasqn
