Quality isn't bad; but it varies from one facility to the next. A review of cardiac surgical mortality in California found one hospital that had no patients die, while another had more than 12 percent of cardiac surgery patients die.

Peter Orszag and his colleagues will probably say we should try to force all doctors and all hospitals to practice medicine the way Intermountain practices. that would be a huge mistake.
