ACA will increase greenhouse gases

[Amelia]

You know it will. For instance when medical device makers ship production to factories in less regulated, less taxed countries.

What other unintended consequences might be on our way?

Be creative!

Desperate, you are.

But, I give you an A for creativity in your lies.

Really. Way to go.

Thanks.

BTW, you DO know, don't you, its the R's that want to do away with regulations.

It will create a new waive of private practice doctors... ones who do not accept obamacare as payment....limit their customer base to the ones who can afford what they are offering....


Ill be first in line.

Hospitals might limit care for older patients.

Health Affairs: Unintended Consequences of the PPACA Could Threaten Care for Medicare Patients | Legal & Regulatory Issues

Here are concerns the report addresses.

• The Hospital Readmission Reduction Program, which was designed to provide incentives for improvements in outcomes, could drive hospitals to limit access to frail older adults who have a higher chance of being readmitted.
• The National Pilot Program on Payment Bundling, designed to motivate providers to deliver low-cost care and avoid expensive post-acute stays, excludes long-term services and support as part of the "bundle." Providers may withhold services to some long-term Medicare patients past the bundled payment period to realize savings.
• Community-based care transitions, intended to link community-based organizations with hospitals to improve outcomes and reduce readmissions, may not be in the geographic region to serve some Medicare patients who might otherwise benefit from the transition services.
