Well, last night's post made a lot more sense last night. It seems like my record needle was skipping a bit (to any youngsters on the forum, I am referring to the technology that allows you to extract analog audio information from vinyl record albums).
Anyway, what I was trying to say was:
Payors obviously do not have the best interests of physicians at heart. Any information they try to gather is intended to be used agaist us. Where their goals and our goals happen to coincide, it is entirely coincidental, and may be considered temporary. Therefore, any goal they promote should be viewed with suspicion, and resisted on principle.
I think people who work actively to help payors achieve mastery over physicians should properly be viewed as enemies by physicians (and by society at large, but I digress). Therefore, I can't read a bunch of people talking about how easy they're making it for outside agencies to scrutinize and control physicians without getting a little sick at my stomach.
