Doctors didn’t think it was possible to loathe the world’s biggest health care profiteer any more. Then came the hack that set half their bookkeeping systems on fire.
To me it sounded like they were saying ACO and VBC are both bad. In fact, it kinda felt like they were attributing their creation to UHG as some kinda malicious moneymaking scheme.
I’m not sure how to answer your question in a manner which doesn’t touch on the same points the author brings forward. Was something they said unclear or are there parts of my comment which you’d like me to elaborate upon?
You attempted to discredit author of the article over him being critical of these concepts but are unwilling to explain how they benefit patients. I see promises being made but I also see steep administrative costs also, which is the critical defect in the US healthcare system.
Based on wiki pages, it appears that these are just another model that serves as band aid on fundamentally flawed system with a lot room for corruption to continue.

What’s aco? urgent care?
Accountable care organization. VBC = value based care.
I know how to read an abbreviation… Looking to understand what they actually do within the corruption scheme

What job do they actually do?
You suggested they are not corrupt. I am trying to understand where you are coming from?
Explaining what an ACO and what VBC are is far outside the scope of the educational burden I’m willing to take on. Instead, have some links:
