These ACO:s are nothing more than capitated HMOs. What is not spent on care then gets divided up among the providers. This is a system that puts doctors in the position of executioners. Why is it these meddlers never look to the only system that has ever been shown to reduce costs: people paying their own bills out of their private HSAs?
