Tyler Cowen's conversation with Mr Gawande[1] was well worth the time. I don't know enough about him or the new company's plans to speculate on how this will all work out (although: neither does anyone else in this thread), but he's clearly a highly intelligent and thoughtful person with deep domain expertise. I certainly wouldn't bet against.
