New HHS rules undermine the most important health care law in fifty years (Niam Yaraghi, Brookings)

MACRA, which was signed into law in April 2015, replaces the older fee-for-service payment models with a quality payment program which rewards value rather than volume. It may be the second most important law to reform the United States’ health care system after the Social Security Amendments which created Medicare and Medicaid in 1965.
