Edwin Leap, in Medical Economics: “Policymakers see too few patients. It’s easy to make decisions about the docs in the trenches when you’re eating a catered lunch in a quiet boardroom. We have too many rules, slowing down care and making both patients and physicians unhappy and frustrated. The rulemaking has to stop before we collapse under the weight of ‘good ideas.'”
