The great thing is that we can all blame our own political bogeyman (ACA) for healthcare costs for expensive medical equipment bought to avoid lawsuits, and not say, the enforcement of HIPAA on electronical data 17 years ago. The answer will surely lie in first blaming a political enemy, then vaguely hinting at something relevant (litigation).
- readthenotes1 4y agoI didn't mean to blame ACA for the equipment problem. That was happening well beforehand because of litigation. ACA is directly responsible for the perverse incentive in not reducing medical costs. ACA is bad, and they knew it when they passed it. IIRC, senator Lieberman stopped government supplied medical care for the other 50% of people who don't already get it that way
