As it stands now, most health providers in the healtchare industry make money when people get sick.  This is a fundamental flaw in the system, for it does not financially incentivize these providers, such as doctors and hospitals, to ensure that people remain healthy.  A big emphasis of the new healthcare reform is incentivizing individuals to keep themselves healthy and to penalize providers for providing poor care.  The following article does a great job outlining how Accountable Care Organizations, or ACOs, may go a long way in accomplishing this, and how they may change the future of healthcare: http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/08/03/2344316/will-acos-create-a-revolution.html
