"If a family care physician works with his or her patient, to help them lose weight, modify diet, monitors whether they're taking their medications in a timely fashion, they might get reimbursed a pittance."

"But, if that same diabetic ends up getting their foot amputated, that's $30,000, $40-50,000 immediately the surgeon is reimbursed."

"But why not make sure that we're also reimbursing the care that prevents the amputation, right? That'll save us money ?"
