==Career and education==
With his collaborators, he showed that black Medicare beneficiaries with lung cancer do not receive as high quality care as white patients, and that the aptitude and resources of primary care physicians who treat blacks patients are inferior, when compared to primary care physicians who primarily treat white patients. A paper in 2007 demonstrated that care in Medicare is highly fragmented, with the average beneficiary seeing multiple primary care physicians and specialists. He has led efforts to develop lung cancer screening guidelines by several major organizations and also developed one of the first lung cancer risk prediction models. He has proposed a number of strategies by which Medicare could link payment level to the value of healthcare delivered.
His lay press contributions have included op-eds on topics such as medical school tuition funding,〔Peter B. Bach, ("Why Medical School Should Be Free" ), ''The New York Times'', 5/28/2011 (accessed 11/9/2012)〕 setting physician reimbursement based on market forces,〔Peter B. Bach, ("Medicare, Start the Bidding" ), ''The New York Times'', 6/3/2009. (accessed 11/9/2012)〕 and why cancer screening recommendations are often not followed.〔Peter B. Bach, ("The Trouble With 'Doctor Knows Best'" ), ''The New York Times'', 6/4/2012. (accessed 11/9/2012)〕 He also authored a series of essays for the ''New York Time''s Well Blog describing his wife's experience as a breast cancer patient at his hospital.〔Peter B. Bach, ("Posts published by Peter B. Bach, MD" ), ''Well Blog - The New York Times'', 2/21/11 - 4/4/11. (accessed 11/9/2012)〕 An oped he wrote with colleagues about a cancer drug being too expensive led the company to halve the price.〔Peter B. Bach, ("In Cancer Care, Cost Matters" ), ''The New York Times'', 10/14/2012 (accessed 11/30/2012)〕〔Andrew Pollack, ("Sanofi Halves Price of Cancer Drug After Sloan-Kettering Rejection" ), ''The New York Times'', 11/8/2012 (accessed 11/30/2012)〕
