Hospital executives think health reform is going to make the health care they deliver a whole lot better and a bit cheaper: Fully 65 percent indicated that by 2020, they believe the healthcare system as a whole will be somewhat or significantly better than it is today. And when they were asked about their own institutions, the optimism was even more dramatic. Fully 93 percent predicted that the quality of care provided by their own health system would improve. This is probably related to efforts to diminish hospital acquired conditions, medication errors, and unnecessary re-admissions, as encouraged by financial penalties in the ACA. On cost control there was similar optimism: 91 percent forecasted improvements on metrics of cost within their own health system by 2020.

(20,899 posts)1. That 93% of hospital executives think the ACA will make health care better must explain why
Republicans are so vehemently opposed.

...I find it very difficult as a matter of principle to get excited about -anything- that 90+% of executives think is a good idea.
