new financial penalties for hospitals that have particularly high rates of readmissions or harm to Medicare patients.

That one is no lie. Prophylactic medications, many of them regulated to the extent that the government is specifying which ones must be used. The price we will pay for this is long term. One is that the patients will often end up on drugs for life with stress to the kidneys and body. Another is that overuse of antibiotics is contributing to drug resistance. The biggest problem is that doctors who readmit their patients (for the right reasons obviously) will be kicked out of hospitals to reduce the penalties. The intent of course is to destroy the US private health care system.

They’re doing a helluva job if that’s the case. That and everything else King Anti-Midas touches.
