The Office and describes the “surf-n-turf.”

In the very beginning of the podcast, the host talks about an episode of The Office and describes the “surf-n-turf.”  Essentially, when your company or your boss pays for your dinner, most times, employees will pick the surf-n-turf option (with a side of lobster!).  How does this relate to healthcare as discussed in the podcast?

In the Utah Medicaid program example, describe what happened when Medicaid moved from a fee-for-service payment model to a fixed payment model?  Also, what is the name of this “fixed” payment model?
