Abstract
During Ronald Reagan's second term as US president, he addressed the Future Farmers of America and quipped, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.’” 1 Reagan R Remarks to Future Farmers of America (7-28-1988).

Exceptions to this are the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) and the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB), two similar but distinct information clearinghouses specifically created to improve healthcare quality and reduce fraud and abuse. Collectively, the NPDB and HIPDB are known as the Data Bank. 2 The Data Bank About us. Available at http://www.npdb-hipdb.hrsa.gov/topNavigation/aboutUs.jsp Google Scholar
