Important advances in several fields have increased the complexity and accuracy of prevailing models of individual actors, group dynamics, and communication. Unfortunately, too few of the key insights of that scholarship have been incorporated into the theory or practice of human rights promotion.

CannonJohn Goodman is correct that ObamaCare’s individual mandate — and Kathleen Sebelius’s power to make the mandate more burdensome at whim — threaten the continued existence of health savings accounts (HSAs).  But ObamaCare’s price controls are no less a threat. The new law requires insurers to charge enrollees of the same age the same average premium, regardless of health status.  That’s a price control, and it will cause premiums for healthy people to rise dramatically and thus lead to massive adverse selection.  Healthy people will gravitate to less-comprehensive insurance — in particular, HSA-compatible high-deductible plans — where the implicit tax is smaller. As premiums for comprehensive plans spiral upward (ulti...

The agency’s chief scientist, Jesse Goodman, tells a Congressional committee that the FDA needs a decade to restore itself to its past glory. “I think what FDA really needs is a 5- to 10-year building effort/re-building effort. And it’s not just rebuilding to what it was. I think it’s being a part of building the science of the future,” Goodman told a Capitol Hill briefing on the FDA’s scientific progress, according to The Pink Sheet. Which initiatives might work? One cited is the Sentinel program in which the FDA search health plan records for adverse events. Over time, Goodman says it will help transform the agency’s culture. “It’s almost like taking the cu...

CannonHaving fisked Newt Gingrich’s and John Goodman’s “best” health care reform ideas, I probably should do the same for Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s similar oped in the Washington Post.  Pawlenty makes five recommendations: “Incentivize patients to be smart consumers.” Setting aside his use of the grating word incentivize (down with suffix creep!), Pawlenty is on the right track.  But he’s so vague as to leave (himself?) room for mischief.  “Make quality and costs more transparent”?  “Incentivize smarter health-care decisions”?  A pol could claim to be doing those things while falling far short of what he should be doing: letting Americans — rather than employers or government — contr...

In her most recent column, "A Rational Talk About Rationing Care," Goodman illustrates her thesis by citing the the non-rationing example of President Obama's late grandmother, who decided to receive a hip replacement after a fall even though she was terminally ill. From Goodman's column:I was also struck by the way the president framed Toot's treatment as one of the "difficult moral issues" surrounding healthcare costs. Indeed, folks on the right sa...

They have required hospitals they accredit to adopt a zero-tolerance policy toward bad behavior from staff, which must include a code of conduct and a way of disciplining offenders. Why is any of this necessary? Because virtually every hospital has had at one time the angry surgeon who yells at his operating room (OR) team (or worse) when the tiniest thing goes wrong. Today’s Boston Globe has the story: During an operation at a Salem hospital last summer, an orthopedic surgeon [Dr. Murray Goodman], frustrated by a pair of scissors that wouldn’t cut, threw them and narrowly missed a nurse.

These moves may pan out, but meanwhile, the mag posits that Pfizer’s pipeline is so dry that it has about as much chance of success as Democrats give the White House strategy in Iraq.

Martin Mackay was the top internal candidate to succeed John LaMattina, according to many people inside and outside Pfizer. But the drugmaker insists this isn’t just any announcement. Along with the promotion, Pfizer also trumpets that its hired away a Merck exec, Briggs Morrison, to head clinical development, and also named Corey Goodman, who founded two biotechs - Exelixis and Renovis - to run a newly created biotech operation. With this grand gesture, Pfizer tries to signal a few different things at once - a degree of consistency within the struggling R&D operation (remember last year’s Torcetrapib debacle?); the moxy to woo top talent from rivals, and the ability and, most of all, a willingness to commit resources to develop a biotech business that ...
