Sidebar! Hey, November 2nd at Houston. What's your plan to stop Clowney?

Edit: This is for Evan Mathis, obviously. If he's not busy heckling Barwin.

What ever happened to Farecast? I used to use them and they seemed to do what you're doing, quite well. Are you similar?

It seems to me that there is a shocking conflict of interest in our system, where doctors are allowed to make decisions that put money directly in their own pockets -- ie ordering tests from labs they have ownership stakes in, ordering drugs from companies that pay them as consultants (essentially a kickback), doing studies on companies that pay them, etc.

As much crap as people give lawyers, they would be disbarred (at least here in Oregon) for doing something like that.

Would you support conflict of interest rules to ban this? Do you think it would make a difference in health care costs?
