When the government issues health care statistics there are usually two general responses from the constituencies that are influenced – “this shows a problem,” or “the study is flawed.” And what ensues is a blame game, a political, polemical battle of op-eds and spin. What rarely happens is that all sides consider the implications of the numbers and use them to advance the public health. There are many examples of this, perhaps the best known being the debate over the Part D drug benefit.
