Health Care Reform Implementation The healthcare system in the U.S. is unique and unlike any other country’s delivery of healthcare in many ways. Although the U.S. is often on the frontlines for making technological advances, we are often criticized for patients limited access to care and the ability to pay for it (Nies & McEwen, 2019). Within the Affordable Care Act that was signed into law in 2010, was the call to establish Accountable Care Organizations (ACO). Bundled payments, an initiative developed by The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, is an alternative payment model that requires participating providers to show the total allowable cost for care.
