For more detail see: https://t.co/YggTNpMBQL w/ a shout out to @JHeath_. Key is, if ACOs are to succeed, they need stable benchmark policy that does not penalize success. Hopefully getting there. https://t.co/lHMSDpVQzK

Mashup Score: 12Don’t Look Up? Medicare Advantage’s Trajectory And The Future Of Medicare | Health Affairs Forefront - 3 year(s) ago
This article attempts a dispassionate policy analysis of three currently debated questions: 1) has MA been successful; 2) should we be concerned about its current trajectory of rapid growth; and, if so, 3) how should we think about a course correction?

The cost-shifting narrative and the empirical strategies used to evaluate it typically assume no connection between public prices and the number of hospitals operating in the market (market structure).
