"The End of Health Insurance Companies" - An Op-Ed piece by Ezekiel Emanuel, Keynote Speaker at INQRI's Upcoming National Meeting

This past Monday, Ezekiel J. Emanuel and Jeffrey B. Liebman wrote an Op-Ed in the New York Times predicting the demise of health insurance companies as a result of the implementation of accountable care organizations (ACOs). Drs. Emanuel & Liebman emphasize the importance of the transfer of risk from insurance companies to ACOs in this model of care and how it can lead to insurance companies becoming obsolete.
