Affordable Care Organizations go right along with the spirit of the Affordable Care Act
They have been working well in some areas, less well in others, but were gaining acceptance
Now the IRS has denied the ACO a tax exemption where they “coordinate care for people with commercial insurance” – which would be everybody it serves. The rationale is that the ACO is not operated “exclusively for charitable purposes and it provided private benefits to some doctors in its network” True…so whither goest ACOs to wither?
Killing Obamacare softly…take away the things that will make it work – the ACO promise
