Entrepreneurs disrupt health care model


Upstart entrepreneurs are upending the business model for health care, and this morning’s Supreme Court ruling upholding the heart of the reform law won’t change that.

Innovative business leaders are exploring the edges of how health care is delivered, records are kept, and doctors are vetted. The ruling is just one factor in the overall health care changes they’re seeing and pioneering.

Before the surprise ruling came down, one such company announced it had raised $34 million.Practice Fusion, which helps providers keep electronic medical records, had the VC haul.

Critics say clearly not all of these women need the drug for ADHD.
