from the March 2008 EBP Ambassador of the Month–Shannon Brownlee author of Overtreated in yesterday’s Washington Post. Great article.
Her proposed myths:
1. America has the best health care in the world
2. Somebody else is paying for your health care
3. We could save a lot if we could cut the administrative waste of private insurance
4. Health-care reform is going to cost a bundle (she aptly points out a few examples of the benefit of EBP)
5. Americans aren’t ready for a major overhaul of the health-care system
to wit, I would add a #6 and #7
6. You can have health care reform without legal reform
7. Providers reimbursement cuts will save bundles
Thoughts?
