| Do you know P4P? |

P4P- that means 'pay for performance', and it has your docs in an uproar, or in denial. And I think that it will be bad for your health as well. If you work hard to control your own disease, we get the credit (and a bit of cash as well). And if you need some help-- you need support to control your diabetes, your weight, your heart failure, your cholesterol-- you have compliance issues, or just need a big kick in the seat-- well, now you're costing us money. It is way too easy to cut you loose. I believe that the patients with lowest health literacy and the most needs will be jettisoned.
