The CMMI was created to move the U.S. healthcare system away from 'fee-for-service' (where doctors are paid for every test they run) toward 'value-based care' (where they are paid based on how well the patient recovers). If this bill passes, the government loses its main tool for testing how to lower the long-term costs of Medicare. While some think these experiments are a waste of money or give the government too much control, others believe they are the only way to keep the healthcare system from going bankrupt.
