It’s Starting: Calif. Obamacare To Cut Hospitals That Perform ‘Too Many’ Surgeries
Western Journal ^ | May 30, 2018 | Cillian Zeal

If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.

If you like the surgery you’re about to receive, you can get the surgery you’re about to receive.

Yes, that’s the latest cost-cutting measure that’s about to hit Obamacare recipients. In California, according to the American Spectator, they’re going to start cutting funds to hospitals that perform too many surgeries. How many is too many, of course, is whatever the nearest bureaucrat says that it is.

“Covered California, the state’s health insurance marketplace under the Affordable Care Act, has devised what could be a powerful new way to hold hospitals accountable for the quality of their care,” WBUR-FM noted approvingly.

I so hate that word "surgeries." It make me cringe. It sounds incredibly low-class to me.

Surgical procedures used to be called "operations," but that was long ago and far away, in a country that had cars that didn't scold you for not buckling yourself in, and where pretty girls didn't have tattoos on their backs.

Controlling costs by limiting services (socialism/communism 101)

Oh, and who's surgeries will be unnecessary?

Might older folks (who remember Traditional America, American Values, and know best the fraud of the left) be likely candidates for ...

If somebody wants to build a coal-fired power plant hospital that does a lot of surgical procedures, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them,”

The Bamster once said ~”[his health care vision]...might mean that some people will have to take a pill instead of getting an operation...”

This article is all about Covered California. California’s version of Obamacare. When 1/3 of California’s population is on Medicare, how many do you think are Obamacare? Yeah, they’re gonna have to cut services. They’re figuring out you can’t give free or almost free healthcare to everyone.
This doesn’t bother me at all. It is happening just like we said it would.

Not Medicare. Medicaid, known as MediCal in California

Autocorrect strikes again.

There is necessary survgery
Then there’s cosmetic
Then there’s defensive or preemptive
Straight up
You don’t want to go to the hospital if you don’t have to
Furthermore. Take care of your OWN health
Som key stuff from my regimen
0). Excercise. I like bike swim hike kayak myself
1) colloidal silver. Kills all pathogens and aids multiple metabolic processes
I make a glass daily and put in our distilled drinking water supply
2). Healthy diet. I am mostly vegetarian and do both green and protein shakes daily in Am and pm
3) cleanse. Look up cascara sagrada. Psyllium husk. Triphala
3b. Fast I do a 7 day cleanse and fast 4x/yr
4. Hang upside down 1-2 times per day. I have rack in door and boots but there are tables. Key to back and endocrine and lymph health

It’s already started in TX with a major health insurance plan. Yet, premiums are rising.

As if all hospitals have the equal facilities, equipment, staffing, levels of skill, competency and ability.
