As talk swirls about repealing and replacing Obamacare, President Trump must train his focus on the fundamental error of the ACA, which is the shift in patient care decision-making away from frontline physicians and toward hospitals and insurance companies. Health insurance for everyone is important; however if it comes at the expense of providing quality healthcare to everyone, it is at best a pyrrhic victory. Hospitals are the most expensive and many times inefficient venue for the delivery of care and have contributed to rising costs while also failing to improve the quality of patient care.

“We’re going to repeal it and replace it.”
We haven’t heard a politician repeat the same line about health care over and over since …“If you like the plan you have, you can keep it.”
If only health care in this country were so easy.
With the swearing in of Donald Trump as our nation’s 45th president last week, the issue of health care is now firmly on his desk.
Does he truly have the votes (or the mandate) to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, the signature program of his predecessor, President Barack Obama?
Does he truly have a replacement? And, if so, is it any better?
Last month, in preparation for President Trump’s first 100 days in office, NJBIZ held a health care panel
at Forsgate Country Club with six experts in their fields. Following are their thoughts:

Manhattan real estate prices have always been crazy — but a wealthy Russian banker has discovered that $57.5 million won’t even buy you a whole East Side mansion.
The banker closed on the $42 million deal for 33 E. 74 St. last week — but just for the first four floors of the seven-story condo building.
The buyer of the 10,088-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-bath unit in the building, known as the Atterbury Mansion, was not identified, but The Post has learned he is Alexei Kuzmichev.
But more than 10,000 square feet apparently wasn’t enough room for Kuzmichev — who also bought an additional three-bedroom, 3,800-square-foot unit for $15.5 million in the building immediately to the west of the Atterbury Mansion.
