Obama care - Patient protection and affordable care act (PPACA)
Pay for performance
The primary care physicians have a portion of their pay withheld, and a bonus payment made for meeting "Quality Measures"
One quality measure: 100% vaccination rate.
Having one unvaccinated child could cut their annual income 6%.
Physicians are just pawns in this game too.
Quoting: Lemon Wow... does it get worse with more unvaccinated kids? I bet doctors will kick them out to maintain 100%. There is one doctor from Chicago that does not vaccinate kids at all. [ link to homefirst.com] I noticed that they re-did the website. Not sure if it had to do with Obamacare rules. Quoting: AlcoholicRunner I believe 6% is the maximum penalty for missing the vaccination target, but it would lable them a "Bad Doc" on the health compare web sites and in the community. That would increase their malpractice insurance cost. It could potentially ruin a good Doctor. Quoting: Lemon Sadly, you are right. Nothing good ever come out of social programs by socialists...
