Seniors and baby boomers who voted for Obama are so stupid.

I’ve never seen a doctor owned hospital. I wonder if they keep nurses understaffed like the gov owned ones and the big business ones.

Those hospitals could have been run by GM dealership owners that Obama and the unions fired....

There will be no Medicare - it will just be a sorry version of Medicaid.

The liberals seniors in my neck of the woods and where I lived once in FL are in for a real shock. They will go from Cadillac care to miltary field hospitals during an 18th century war. Hope & Change.

Critics say that when doctors steer patients to a hospital they own, it gives them an incentive to put profits above the patient's health by ordering more tests or procedures than are necessary. They argue that physician-owned hospitals siphon off the most lucrative, easy-to-treat patients, leaving more complex and costly cases, as well as the poor and uninsured, to community hospitals. That can prompt community hospitals to curtail vital but expensive services, such as comprehensive emergency room care, which specialty hospitals generally do not provide.

Is that a quote from Wikipedia?

They are so unbiased. (/s)

Steve Crowder shows us what our health care system is going to look like in the not-to-distant future by trying to get health care in Canada.

The Canadians realize now that socialized medicine is not the way to go and are working toward getting rid of it. I think Americans are going to be making quite a few visits to Canada to get health care. The District of Criminals will probably make that illegal.

I was talking to a doctor about rationed healthcare in January.

The doctor said "They did away with The Death Panels in England, there are no death panels there today."

If he is too damned stupid to use a browser to read the London Times and the Daily Mail once in while, fire him.

“I’ve read about a number of these doctros’ hospitals that are under construction, and literally frozen in partially finished conditions. I don’t really know the particulars, but some number of these buildings-in-progress have essentially become illegal or impossible to operate feasibly.”

It’s a Hugo Chavez move.

I remember, in the 50s, my uncle built a hospital so that his patients wouldn’t have to drive 85 miles for medical help. He could afford it; they couldn’t.
He always said that it barely made enough to keep the doors open and was basically a break even headache.

"... miltary field hospitals during an 18th century war..."

Bone saws and dirty bandages. Should be a rude awakening for them.

“So THIS is how they plan to make healthcare better and more affordable and increase access to more people...”

Remember Leftist double-speak (aka ‘lies’). Better = worse, more affordable = less affordable, increased access = decreased access.

“What happens to prices / costs when supply is reduced?”

They’re fixed by the government?

The democrats wasted no time destroying the US health care system, did they?

Oh, and think of ALL THE JOBS THOSE 60 HOSPITALS WOULD CREATE.

“larger corporate hospitals say doctor-owned facilities discriminate in favor of high-income patients and refer business to themselves.”

So.....more of your beds will be open to low-income patients?

Or....were you just hoping YOU’D get those high-income?

Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit medical practice. I think the ones shut down are doctor owned for profit.

Don’t forget quality and availability. Those are going in the toilet as well. This bill was an act of war against the People.
