Another very enlightening and worthwhile article by Dr. Kozak.  Changing the medical model of economic compensation from the number of visits and tests to the enhanced well-being of the patient population is transformational.  AND, as it takes greater effect will produce healthier patients with less cost.  HMSA's pilot study with primary care providers is the perfect way to get this change going as they are the medical front line for most of us.  A big adjustment, but a worthwhile one.
