quality care is a euphemism for lower cost care. Why is there no measure of compliance or engagement in treatment on the part of the patient? Seems very one sided and punitive against the physicians for patients who are obese, smoking, not attending exercise or PT, not taking meds as prescribed, or are just really sick
