What happens when doctors say “no”:

How One Doctor in Bloomington, Indiana Refused to Join an ACO REACH


Hear Dr. Rob Stone, physician in Bloomington, Indiana, discuss what happened when he found out his practice had joined an ACO REACH. Do physicians have agency when it comes to being “joined” to a for-profit, capitated program with financial incentives to delay and deny care? To whom is a physician beholden: the corporation or the patient? Can doctors really say “no”? And what happens when they do.

What can the community and the medical profession do to support doctors who take a stand against privatization of health care? Hear a response from Dr. Andy Coates, physician, former union leader in Albany, NY.
