Yes, there actually does have to be some legislative basis for this. Grabbing a random soundbite and frothing at the mouth over it is not a helpful strategy. We need to address actual facts of law, not just whatever notion suitably outrages us.
There is. Do a word search in the new "law" for the word, "Secretary".
My version is just the condensed version.
Cordially,
Perusing the bill for “readmission” reveals a pervasive intent, coupled with financial disincentive, to reduce the frequency of patients returning within 30 days. While the desire to “do it right” so people don’t need to come back, the unintended consequence is medical providers will be encouraged to discourage, if not outright refuse, readmission of patients.
Being someone who not long ago was “readmitted” within 3 days of release from treatment following “routine” surgery (the next two weeks were, well, unpleasant), I have a problem with this policy. I want my insurance provider to work out the financial deals based on trust that what was done needed doing, not on some bureaucratic policy of “reducing re-admittance”.

PING to #108.
Thanks grey_whiskers.
Whenever they send me mail - I trash it.

Why waste an opportunity? I used to use their return-postage envelope to write little notes to them, such as, “No, I do not wish to belong to your America-hating organization.” That way, they had to pay for the postage, and I got a little satisfaction snicker.
They finally caught on, though, and they have finally stopped sending me stuff.

Take it out of the hands of Congress via Constitutional Convention [REALLY - its in the Constitution].
34 states need to agree on a single petition - the Congress is FORCED to call a Constitutional Convention.
Constitutional Convention votes on proposed amendments, then sends back to Congress. Congress then must send either to state legislatures or to individual state conventions for ratification. Takes 38 states to ratify.
BTW: 22 states already have petitions on the books, 10 more had them - but have rescinded [many years ago]. These 10 are GOP states - they might be inclined to re-instate. If they do, theres 32 !!! Among those that do not have one ... Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia. Three prime candidates for being the last two ...
We have 120 employees, so $360,000 a year or $3000 a year. Hmmm That’s a no brainer.
Math is wrong - you sure its right?
Current cost = $1900 x 120 x 12 = $2,736,000
Future cost = $3000 x 120 x 12 = $4,320,000
Fine = $3000 x 120 = $360,000
