bothers me about sina statistics now, that 40% of.org zinni nida states are burned out according to mayo clinic. they did a study three weeks ago. when we have 46% of front-line providers in any industry burned out, of course the quality is going to be poor and of course mistakes are going to happen and of course people are going to fall through the cracks. when people don't feel that they own the service -- code docs tell me when i go to conference is an speak, i often know how to health care -- make health care a better institution and i know out of care -- make the care safer for people but i don't feel empowered. that i think is one of the great divides right now in health care and united states. increasingly, we have some doctors saying in some facilities that there is a chasm between themselves and their unit manager, between themselves in those who are making the policies or those calling the shots on a national level. they don't feel empowered and we are seeing more variability because of that. >> host: you talk in your book about the administrative crack downs if you will, where you ge

these people being sent to mayo clinic for other significant hospitals, that will have an impact. in some areas from the hospitals are going to take a hit. many of them really should just be [inaudible] wouldn't you think? i think that we face a real challenge and navigating it. maybe we need this kind of approach for hospitals. i think there is good evidence in the public health literature that medical care achieves good health outcomes. much of the rest is really nonmedical care, and it is a lot. it has to do with prevention, it has to do with lifestyle. it has to do with how we organize transportation and i think everyone here gets that. but i do think that one big problem that we have to address when think about is that the return on investment of those kinds of investment is very long. now, jim is going to laugh. i used to think that the return on investment for so long that you couldn't really expect insurance companies to take on that kind of investment and prevention programs. labor force is so mobile. they would lose their premium paying customer before they would reap th
