 Quote-of-the-Month
"I am a firm believer in the market and consumers with good information making good decisions.  I think it is very incumbent upon us to try to create transparency so that the network of physician consumers is informed about price [and] quality, and we are able to continue to put appropriate pressure on the [healthcare technology] vendors to improve their products." -- David Kibbe, MD, director of American Academy of Family Physicians', 04.29.05
