...the President Obama’s health care law empowers IPAB an “unelected, unaccountable” panel of bureaucrats to make decisions that will cause people to lose access to health care treatments. Who says so? After a bit of adept questioning by Fox's Chris Wallace--Robert Gibbs, Obama's former press secretary admitted I read that. Twice. I don't see him admitting any such thing. What he said was that providers that continue to be inefficient will not be profitable. The presumption is that they will either become efficient or go out of business to be replaced by providers that are efficient, not that there would be a loss of access to treatment. Unless the author has in mind the potential for loss of access during lag time for the replacement or the potential that no one would consider it worth the bother to become a replacement, I don't see any admission in there.
