8. The Health Reform Uncertainty
There is a difference between Risk and Uncertainty
We have always had risk in healthcare but now we have uncertainty

9. And The Current Future PPACA’s Contribution
Supreme Court ruling and election gives certainty for today but leaves a Medicaid hole for some states

CMS driven ACOs with likely un-eveness in performance and higher market costs
CMS Duals Office- Un-eveness on its journey
Health Insurance Marketplaces (f/k/a exchanges) will emerge in some form but with what populations
CMS –CMMI will test a wide variety of programs to save money will any of them work
