Health Reform: How Hospitals and Physicians Will Be Affected

Health Reform: How Hospitals and Physicians Will Be Affected
Source: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

Throughout the debate around health reform, health care consumers and providers alike have asked how physicians and hospitals will be affected by the new law.

These brief reports funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation explore the effects that health reform will have on consumers, state governments, the economy and health care costs. Two reports released today look at how physicians and hospitals—including community, teaching and safety net hospitals—will be affected.

The authors, Robert Berenson and Stephen Zuckerman, both from the Urban Institute, conclude that under reform, hospitals will likely be able to improve the quality of their care without seeing much difference in their revenues and expenditures. Further, physicians will likely benefit financially as coverage expands—at worst they will be unaffected financially.
