As a result of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, Medicare this year started reducing hospital reimbursements and in coming years will penalize hospitals with high rates of avoidable hospital readmission. The ACA is also creating financial incentives for doctors and hospitals to form Accountable Care Organizations that will share in the savings to Medicare if unnecessary spending is reduced. “If everyone practiced the way the low-spending regions do, Medicare spending would fall 30 percent.” http://bit.ly/u1sHya
