Mental health is a black sheep of health care. This article shows how the new DSM-5 could cause more problems for patients AND for cost of health care. We do not need this when we are struggling to really reform how we pay for health care. It will hurt mental health care as well as hurt health care payment reform.

UnitedHealth looks at doctors' pay for medical savings | StarTribune.com
UnitedHealth looks at doctors' pay for medical savings | StarTribune.com:
I am not sure if or how forcing docs to become managed care monitors is really going to save money and not adversely affect our quality of care and our rights as patients. Also, this just may create more of a shortage of docs. I think we do need to do something about access outside of big cities and to lower specialist pay as we raise GP's pay.

An example of how the ACA could be bad for low income people if the State is not careful. This is how it could affect Minnesota Care. Wonder how it will impact Badge Care.
