If they hadn’t jacked up their billing rates to Medicare/Medicaid so much they would still be in business. Ever look at what hospitals charge insurance carriers including Medicare/Medicaid for one aspirin compared to what you can buy them for cash from your local grocery store?

After Texas resolves this issue they need to start looking at all the dental care providers who exist only because of and to make millions off of the State Medicaid program. And then they want to increase the amount of funding to Medicaid!!!!

Too bad about New Braunfels. Things I remember - Wurstfest, floating the Comal, its proximity to Gruene, staying one weekend in the old power plant which has been turned into separate rental units, and the huge flood you all had several years ago. Understand you can’t go tubin’ and take beer with you though any more. Surely that can’t be true.

Grams, I understand your ‘Aspirin’ analogy. The Scotter Store was “Bulldozing” Doctors into signing off for patients Scooters whether the patient NEEDED it or not. All patients scooters were REPLACED at 5 year intervals at @ $3-5k cost to US. In many instances the old Scotter was rebuilt (new motors and tires) at 4 year intervals @ cost to US $1-2k, See a pattern?


The Texas Court of Appeals just told the City of New Braunfels to take their Container Ban (Beer Ban on River) and stick it. The City is deciding whether or not to spend more of my property taxes to appeal again to the Texas Supreme Court. Grams, come on down and drink your BEER this Summer, this ludicrous Beer Ban will be thrown out by then, IMHO.

If you do come look me up, I'm a block from the Comal River, would love to meet any Freeper.
