Summary
Ranking doctors and hospitals will certainly move the most profitable patients able to afford commercial health insurance AND travel. Medical Providers who help set their (local) standards to affect real outcomes reporting regular consumers can understand will increase their market share. Those who don't get involved will get what is left - the uninsured and perhaps lower paying federal or state insured groups. The future for hospitals and some physician specialities will be most turbulent.
