Editor's Notes
- Or perhaps itβs the stupid economy In psychology there is a thing called the βoperational diagnosisβ The idea is that despite all of the problems you have had in your life like your parent not loving you enough, there is some particular issue that brought you in TODAY. In healthcare, the economy is the operational diagnosisThe only thing inflating at a comparable rate to healthcare is higher educationβExcess healthcare costs is defined as the amount by which growth in healthcare costs exceeds growth in GDP

- I cannot tell you how many people I talk with who donβt really have a business model.Here is a real quote I heard in the last few weeks from an entrepreneur who came to pitch me: βRight now weβre focused on finishing the product and getting pilots done and after that weβll figure out how we will make money?β Thatβs when I started reading my email.
