Matthew’s note: imagine that several of your intellectual health care policy wonk heroes were teaming up with at least one big time industry player that you sometimes love to hate, but who’s always a great source of thinking. Imagine that they were getting together in an intimate setting to spend a day focusing on health care reform. Imagine that two of them are behind the two ideas you consider the best for the future of health care in the US. And it’s all just down the street from you. Then imagine that because of a prior client commitment you can’t go. Now you know how I feel, but it doesn't have to be that way for you!

Without meaningful tort reform, cost savings will be illusory.
If the opening of the conference didn’t include a list of things the participants were willing to sacrifice to get reform then I don’t hold much hope for long suffering patients and premium payers.
