So THIS is how they plan to make healthcare better and more affordable and increase access to more people...
Wow, I feel good about myself, I don’t think I’ll examine the issue any deeper.

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.

How soon will it be for Obama to make another speech. Blaming greedy doctors and staff.
And Bush, of course.

If the most offensive portions of ObamaCare are not repealed soon, look for some enterprizing individuals to open private hospitals and/or clinics that cater to the wealthy and accept only cash or private insurance.

Some of the pros and cons of Physician Owned Hospitals:
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.
Supporters say the hospitals offer high-quality care, tend to have more nurses, pay taxes (unlike nonprofit institutions), and, most important, offer a choice. Doctors care more about patients' welfare than do the large chains that operate some hospitals, say supporters, who suspect that what community hospitals really object to is having to fight for business.

Here as an article that explains it.
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act stipulates that existing physician-owned hospitals are prohibited from expanding beds, procedure rooms and operating rooms from the date the bill was enacted. Those same provisions also apply to hospitals that are now under construction and that receive Medicare agreements by Dec. 31, according to Eric Zimmerman, a lawyer who is a partner with McDermott Will & Emery in Washington....

I heard that all future doctor owned hospitals are going to be stopped. I suspect that is the source of most of these hospitals being closed down

So... let's see, as the supply choices and options become more limited might there be less available health care? Might there be rationing? Might there be death panels? Might the government step in again and start to regulate doctors more, in the form of limiting license renewals unless they comply with where they practice, who they accept as patients???
Ain't socialism grand?

If this trick goes on you will soon have a lack of doctors and a cheap medicine (10 or 15mn by patient in many european countries!)

Oh, I see...So, in order to provide MORE service, I must shut down planned capacity. I get it.
Guess Drudge took this to heart. He was getting ready to service up more readers, so he shut down more servers.
Makes perfect sense.
