Pete has second thoughts about Stark

A post from the Science Business Blog recounts Congressman Fortney “Pete” Stark’s regrets for writing the self-referral laws that bear his name. Kevin M.D. points to the Stark laws as an example of what happens when government officials who know nothing about medicine try to regulate physicians. Physicians eventually learn how to survive while complying with the regulations. Once that happens the regulations change, and on the game goes.
