Everyone agrees the health care system needed work; I don't know of anyone who disagrees with that -- although it clearly was the best in the world overall, it was costing too much. The problem is that ACA made it worse. This article is IN NO WAY supporting ACA, and in fact, one of the authors had already declared Obamacare to receive a "failing grade". F. And getting back to our original conversation, he clearly stated that Obamacare would stifle innovation. So, if you think he's done a 180 and thinks that ACA with its ACOs is a good thing, then I would have see some evidence of his having changed his position because I haven't seen it. ACA is a horrible step in the wrong direction that will result in higher costs (as even CBO now admits) and still more than 30 Million without insurance (we started at 46 Million, so the difference is the taxpayers took responsibility for 16 million new insureds via Medicaid, with no improvement at all in coverage that people are buying for themselves). It is a train wreck from one end to the other. You really have to be trying hard not to see it; seems like most everyone else who is involved with health care one way or the other sees it. Except the 16 million who will be getting the freebie.
