On risk: "There's uncertainty in everything that we do. But in health care there's even more uncertainty. And when I look at risk from an economist standpoint, I can't go very far without thinking about risk aversion, meaning that different people have different risk tolerances … The way I look at risk is that if you're trying to mitigate it, you're trying to buy it off, you're trying to buy off the risk factors … Providers are at enormous risk - malpractice issues, quality issues, negligence, dissatisfied patients, legal concerns, not enough staffing, cost of operation and doing business"
