This isn't really true. Obamacare was integral to the push toward increased capitation. Health care insurance paying for services provided instead of patients covered leads to incredibly perverse incentives that have been a huge part of why costs are so high. Capitation solves that by aligning provider incentives with patient incentives; provide timely, high quality care and not unnecessary treatments.
