flat global payments to networks of providers for keeping patients wellAh, yes.... "Health Maintenance".
There is no evidence - NONE - that there are any net benefits to be derived from "health maintenance", a/k/a. "keeping patients well".
This is the most durable of all the politically-charged scams around the push to socialize medicine.

FSA's get cut back from $5,000 to $2,500 next year under Oboingocare, wait until those from Mass that rely on it finally get this...
A major Auto manufacture who shall rename nameless ( who didn't take a bailout ) just cut Blue-Care-Network off their options, PPO's and HMO's only, I wonder if that is in response to Obamacare coming...
BOHICA America....

Although important details remain to be negotiated, the legislative leaders and Gov. Deval Patrick, all Democrats, are working toward a plan that would encourage flat global payments to networks of providers for keeping patients well, replacing the fee-for-service system that creates incentives for excessive care by paying for each visit and procedure. And once all the doctors are told they are now employees of the state, drawing a salary and forever capping their lifetime earning potential, how many will want to stay? Predictable result is fewer doctors, waiting periods, rationed care. Great idea, thanks Mitt!

Congratulations Mitt! You’ve created the first statewide HMO! What an achievement for a conservative (cough, cough!), uhh, liberal.

Romneycare was bad enough as it started out. Deval added mandatory drug coverage which increased the cost about 30%.

Ah sweet federalism. The one good thing Romney’s done for the country is conclusively prove that socialized medicine doesn’t work.

Y’all should read the comments at the article. Most are insane postings by uberliberals who think everything in life should be “free”. Well, if they get their way, medical care will be “free”. The only problem is that they won’t be able to find any of that free medical care.
The comments there make you wonder (1) how did so many people get the idea that socialized medicine, and socialism/collectivism is the way to go, and (2) if that opinion is held by 50% of the voting population, you can write off the Constitution and freedom.
