Question

Ethically speaking, should physicians be required to disclose all payments from the medical products industry or should such payments be banned outright?

Did the Affordable Care Act go far enough in simply mandating disclosure or could more regulation stifle medical innovation?

Could fear that evidence-based medicine might lead to curtailing the multimillion-dollar payments to physicians from the medical products industry account for opposition to evidence-based care, or are such payments justified by the legitimate consultation services and business arrangements between the nation’s top physicians and the industry in their attempt to enhance patient care?

Answer 1

The Affordable Care Act mainly has 3 objectives that

1.It should cover the people in poverty level

2.Reformation of private insurance

3.To make changes in medical decisions taken

It is to make the medical cost affordable for all. but to make it realistic in this world, we have to cross many barriers as it involves private approach for public health care.

Its questionable that how many doctors/ surgeons beleive EBM and or practice it.

There is an ethical conflict between the practitioners and medical device and drug manufacturers in multimillion-dollar payments

Excessive increase in rates of admission of patients for resurgeries, complications, exacerbations

Medical benefits were become questionable

Increased in cost of medical care and procedures

It is not promising for quality and efficient healthcare.
