8. They are working to come up with standardized care plans

so that they can get the best outcomes. Problem is people are all different and react differently to treatment. Add in several co diseases and the plans can contradict themselves. It is a worry.
I just read a great article on it on medscape or web md. I will see it I can find it.
My hubby is a family care doc and he is really happy about the aca even though there are some areas where there is going to be a big fight between the docs and those writing up the standards trying to stick their noses into the care they give. There have been some articles that say that if the doc does not follow the plans for care then they may not get reimbursed. This is not a good thing.
He is so happy that people will be insured. We have paid for meds and diagnostic tests for some of his patients out of our pocket and it is hard as hell to care for people who cannot afford tests or medicines they need.

edited to make this make sense. past my bedtime
