  1. Dr Diana Reed Says:

    An important point is that of Insurers buying up ACOs like hotcakes with thousands of employed physicians. They will be both payer and payee, controlling physicians with gag clauses or threats of termination if they don’t tow the insurance company’s party line. United bought up Monarch Healthcare, Wellpoint bought CareMore, Humana bought SeniorBridge and Concentra. Doesn’t this alarm anyone besides me?
