Abstract

This Policy Brief identifies ten flaws in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and proposes a series of remedies based on repeal and/or alteration of the legislation as it exists. This paper tackles perceived flaws in 1) individual and employer mandates; 2) ACA subsidies; 3) incentives that steer insurers away from less healthy plan enrollees; 4) incentives that encourage healthy individuals to game the system; 5) the inability of the health care delivery system to manage a massive influx of the newly insured; 6) potential benefit cuts to seniors; 7) state burdens; 8) portability challenges; 9) a bias toward over-delivery of diagnostic tests and services that will clog the health care delivery system; and, lastly, 10) government intervention into the practice of medicine.
