Description
In this chapter, Dr. Burke talks about the Affordable Care Act. Though creating access to care is a critical benefit, Dr. Burke explains via examples that the Act has created challenges because the payment system it relies on will not survive the Value-Based Care movement. He also gives examples of how the current system pays an institution for “doing things wrong.”
