UnitedHealth’s physician ratings: "Dishonest"

NY’s Attorney General sends a sharply-worded letter:

It asked the company to cancel its plan to release the rankings in September, citing a furor over a similar program’s introduction in Missouri in 2005. There, physician groups, including the American Medical Association, said the cost rankings primarily reflected the cost of care to the insurer — not to patients.
