Let's see the payoff from health care law

In 2011, USA Today reported that hospitals were losing $49 billion a year because of "uninsureds." Well, now that we have the Affordable Care Act in place that figure should be going down drastically. With less "uninsureds," hospitals should be making way more money, meaning that they should be charging "insureds" less, meaning that insurance companies should be paying less to the hospitals and they too should be making more money and lowering our insurance premiums.

Flawed thinking? I think not.
