A Two-Year Look Back at PPACA - Why it's Dangerous to Our Health
So bad it's good! This amazing piece, apparently from the Department of Obtusity at the Manhattan Institute, takes a stab at criticizing PPACA. Big fail. Trying to finish up my semester here, so I will try to get back to this soon and deconstruct it, but I needed to leave a bookmark to remind me to do it. Enjoy.
How Dr. Emanuel and others think it is the responsibility of the taxpayer to pay for industry errors is beyond comprehension. If this was a pharmaceutical error, or medical device error, my guess is that the CEO of the offending companies would be hauled before Congress and affected families and patients would be called to testify against them - just like Congress did with Toyota.
Aha! Maybe that's it. Maybe the issue is that these hospitals have a designation of "not-for-profit." So in some people's distorted view of the world, maybe they can do no wrong, and for-profit business enterprises can do no right. If this line of thinking is out there, then no amount of regulation will make us safe.
