The "prosper" part of my reply was directed towards the hospital, doctor and pharmaceutical industries. I just retired from the field and well managed outfits are seeing increased patient volumes and revenues. There have been closures, but not near the catastrophic level predicted. Once again, the ACA was about regulating the insurance industry. This is where the dominoes will fall on the march to a Canadian style national health system.

Not the ACA has been about government control and power. Health insurance rates and health care costs are still nonsensical

Docs are retiring. Docs are no longer taking certain types of insurance. Docs have moved into conserve care. The nursing shortage is so acute the country may or may not catch up.

You may have seen something like a Kaiser or a big city hospital doing well. The rest are not. In southern california you are hard pressed to find an open emergency room.

This will get worse never better until Ocare is repealed and rational policies are instituted; starting wth allowing insurance companies to sell across state lines
