I have been waiting for three years for somebody to conduct an in-depth review of all of Obamacare, but not seeing anyone else willing to do so, it’s time to take up the gauntlet. Therefore, the purpose of our in-depth analysis of Obamacare or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), or in its shortest form …. the ACA, is to analyze all the changes contained in the Law into one of three categories. The first category is “Good”, this label is reserved for those changes that can contribute in a positive way to two major goals; one, the improvement of the health of the American population and two, the long term control of health care costs. The second category is “Bad” and this label will be used with changes that need some major revision(s) in order to accomplish the two major goals. The major revision(s) will be described here in brief. The third category is “Ugly” and it is reserved for legislative changes or policy features that need to be removed from the legislation in order to assure that both goals are fully accomplished. Tomorrow we will start the formal review.
