'Inside Obamacare' Looks At Care Coordination And Better Prescription Use

Drugstore chains like CVS/Caremark, Walgreens, Wal-Mart and other retailers are trying to expand the role of nurse practitioners, physician assistants and pharmacists, and the tension that is arising when that happens.


For this to happen at all, states are going to have to ease scope of practice laws to allow non-doctors to perform more functions, the book shows. Naturally, doctors are resistant to these efforts.


For nurse practitioners, states regulate the procedures and care that nurses provide even though they pass national standards and board certifications. Nurse practitioners and pharmacists often have to battle powerful doctor lobbies to change these laws in state capitols across the country.


17 states and the District of Columbia offer patients full and direct access to nurse practitioners, while the rest have regulations that restrict access to nurse practitioners.

Obamacare is a massive disaster.  It destroyed health insurance.  It destroyed health care and it destroyed our economy.

After a full decade of Obamacare’s implementation, the latest projections from the Congressional Budget Office (April 2014), estimate that after spending over $1.8 trillion on Obamacare provisions, in 2024, 31 million people will remain uninsured.
