Medicine is Politics.
"Pathologists have long understood the value of evidencebased medical literature; in fact, modern pathology practice depends on it. Unfortunately, legislators addressing health policy issues in statehouses and on the Hill are too often provided with only anecdotal evidence and stories; indeed, significant health policy decisions are sometimes made on little else. Evidence-based health policy research literature is greatly needed to inform all types of health policy debate— scientific, legal, ethical, and financial—and can provide legislators with the tangible, citable, influential medical information they need to effectively address health care issues and make appropriate policy changes.2"
