Although accountable care organizations (ACOs) appear to be saving money for Medicare, they haven’t caught on as fast as proponents would like. As part of our occasional series of interviews with members of Congress, MedPage TodayWashington Editor Joyce Frieden spoke with Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) about her legislation to improve ACOs and encourage more physicians to sign up for them; DelBene also spoke about changes she would like to see to the Affordable Care Act, among other issues.
The interview, which was conducted by phone with a press person present, has been edited for length and clarity.
