Mack Daddy strikes again

[Paladin2]

Yeah, just how can a single payer have the time to review treatment plans, approve same and write all of those checks in a timely manner?

That poor bureaucrat is sure going to be busy.

[Nifster]

and it will only get worse… and as this continues people will leave which means there will be fewer people to staff the hospital and the care will tank…. just like in the UK with their wonderful NHI

[Gaffer]

They have to wait all this time for the gutless Republicans in the House and Senate to appease Democrats and secure a budget that has more holes in it than block of Swiss Cheese with gas.

So we not only have $1T being printed up by the Fed to buy T-bills and MBSs on the stock market, we are going another Trillion in debt to pay for the increased Medicaid, subsidies and Medicare costs created by Obamacare.

Think of a daughter, or wife, coked-out or massiverly hormone-deficient with absolutely no care in the world about tomorrow or next week - only that they are compelled to spend to satiate their self-indulgent appetites. This is your government.

an “emergency no-bid contract”

eh

follow the money trail to whatever democrat connected crony/donor runs and benefits from Novitus. Wanna bet they haven’t missed a paycheck or a political donation

[concerned about politics]

This is what happens when the freeloader crowd is in charge in Washington. Of course no one is going to get paid. The only thing freeloaders know how to do is take.

One of the primary reasons all these private practices are hooking up w/ hospitals, slow reimbursements.
A friend’s doctor told him the only private practices to survive will be the ones that can make it for about a year w/ no reimbursements coming in. If they can make it , they’ll likely be ok.

[GailA]

They do this all the time. A doctor can submit his claims, and it might take up to 3 months before he/she is paid. Especially if both the primary Medicare and secondary Tricare Life (Ret. Military over 65) are admind from the same office.

Sorry blogger doesn’t even name the hospital. You have to click through to the real story from ABC to get that.

I am thankful to Obamacare for showing me what Schadenfreude really is.

Unfortunately, there will be hospitals and practices that will go out of business as a result of this legislation.

Because of this lack of access, people will die. You won't be able to directly attribute their deaths to specific hospitals, so the enemedia will never report their deaths as such.

It's going to get ugly.

[Mike Darancette]

Leday says he's owed nearly $3 million in payments from Medicare and can't make payroll...

Can't the hospital get it's billing factored, at least for the amount of the payroll?

[grumpygresh]

Maybe they could refuse to take Medicare patients for elective procedures and visits until they are paid.
I’ll bet this will happen when administrators and insurers fail to pay.

[Hoodat]

The only way it could be this bad is if they took bureaucrats such as those working in the tag office and put them in charge of health insurance.

Oh wait . . .
