HOW ABOUT BACK TO CHARITY, WHERE IT HAS ALWAYS BELONGED? (Yes, I was shouting)
I would love that. All the charity hospitals where I trained have been closed, victims of Hillary’s foray into healthcare & Romney care. Obamacare took out the last holdouts.
Charity care can regrow and should be nurtured and encouraged. It will not be there from Day 1 and we can’t count on it. Too many doctors offices and hospitals are giving up the ghost or merging into large conglomerates with cost centers and care rules.
When medicine is given back to patients & doctors, costs will decline and charity care will reemerge. The time saved from the overwhelming regulation compliance will be available for patient care.
