    Tie payment to results and you will suddenly find doctors and hospitals finding reasons not to take the difficult cases, and certainly not to expend any resources treating them. Of course, those are the people who actually need medical care in the first place.

    More fantasyland fairytales that "somebody else" is going to make the sacrifices.
