Medicare pay-for-value goals

I think this needs to be done even faster. I would highly suggest that as soon as you enter the hospital you inform the staff that payment is contingent upon full recovery. Unless we start holding our stroke medical professionals feet to the fire will we ever get significant advances in stroke recovery. The existing status quo is a complete f*cking failure.

HHS Doubles Down on the Shift from Volume to Value

 This might be the only way we will ever get our doctors and hospitals to actually get better results than the current failures of tPA only working completely 12% of the time10% full recovery rate and no stroke rehabilitation protocols.
However there is tremendous pushback from the medical world.

The Time Is Now To Fix Medicare ACOs

Accountable Care Organizations

Why should they be exempt from truth in labeling laws? If I am paying for a service, stroke rehab for example. Why should the 90% of people who don't fully recover pay for useless services?
