Good for those people, that was obviously good experience, although you are right about incentives. I understand why people would seize a big opportunity that could further their career even if it is bad policy.
“Orszag: Doctors should be re-certified not based on what they know, but based on how they practice medicine.”
Basically this boils down to: the government certification system is inflexible, so as we evolve it doesn’t. This created problems. Now the lumbering government wants to adjust to fix this instead of letting the flexible and reactive free-market handle it.
True, individuals or the services they hire. The value certification seems reasonable. In a free-market we would have plenty of certification based on differing criteria, then the best ones would succeed.
“This law is so complicated that you really have to have somebody playing sherpa in order to follow it, because it is fluid and changing. And the supply of people who understand it is way smaller than the demand.”
“Obama to baby boomers: prepare to pay more for home care.”
Well if less people are in homes, they’ll have to fend for themselves and are more likely to die. That’s one way to combat high costs.
Keen thinking.
Almost as if there is a age we need people to die at
“Consumers can’t find out what drugs are covered by plans offered in the exchanges.”
The more confusion, the less we have to shell out!
Just like when insurance hospitals charge, even when insurance covers it. There is the small percentage of people who won’t question it

You expected different?
Well, we need someone to certify them.

No thanks. I want my doctor to know what’s wrong with me, and it doesn’t make much difference his use of electronic medical records.
Those records can make the difference if the doctor is unsure.
The baby boomers should pay more, considering that much of our fiscal problems are directly tied to them.
