The Affordable Care Act May not Be Affordable

A recent paper submitted to the Journal of American Public Health, the premier outlet for the The American Public Health Association looks at how the Affordable Care Act may not really be affordable to Americans. The rising premiums, deductibles and co-pays are just some of the problems mentioned. However there are more serious problems for small business people who have over 50 employees. They have to pay for the healthcare for their workers which comes at a very expensive price. The ACA(Affordable Care Act) mandates that all physicians have put in place EMR(electronic medical records). EMR has 3 real and potential problems.

More Physicians Gravitate Towards "Boutique/Concierge Medicine

Have you noticed more and more medical doctors on television and radio and not just on talk shows, but with introducing their own privately labelled products ,wellness centers and spas? Doctors have taken a page out of commercial marketing that was once considered taboo amongst many elite circles. But, today physicians are grabbing at the opportunity and the opening possibilities to take their practices into another stratosphere. Since the early 80's physicians began to see their autonomy seep from their grips as more DRGs and HMOs began to take command and control of a multi-billion dollar industry(the medical industrial complex), once known as their profession.

Medical doctors with a business degree were once rarely seen, and much more so were those who were marketing their books, their own pharmaceutical products a...
