already for profit hospitals are limiting who they will admit....
That doesn't surprise me at all. I worked with families who had disabled children that qualified for assistance. Many could well afford private insurance and some had cancelled their employer policies because they didn't have to pay an extra premium. When Medicaid quit paying for pull-ups and went to strictly diapers...you'd have thought the world ended from all the griping and complaining.
Medicaid paid for their formula, medicines, diapers, wipes, medical equipment/physicians and specialists, plus 24 hr nursing care if they had a trach or g-tube. The taxpayers were shouldering the lion's share of responsibility and it doesn't seem kosher.
Granted, there were several families I saw who actually needed assistance, but they were the exception...not the rule.
oh so very true....I always say that our hospital spends more time trying to Look good, rather than be good...
or ...."Pres-Ganey is our god"....

Be thankful your dtr is on some type of healthcare. My unemployed son has no health care and cannot use Medicade or the “free” clinics. They say he can work and won’t accept him. He plans on going back to school, and use the university health clinic. And the only financial help he will get for school are loans. So much for the priviledged caucasian male. We are retired and I lost my job when my son lost his(same co.).
And we’ll still be dinged for “chemical restraints” as in tranquilizers, and have to sign those frequent orders for the chair alarm, the bed alarm, etc.
So it begins: the Death Panels’ opening salvo.
So...mandatory P.E. classes for old folks otherwise they aren’t covered. Just like elementary school, some things never change.
I believe the administration’s potential appointment of a Death Czar would relinquish the need for a Death Panel.
That is somewhat akin to being neither slow or fast, just halffast.
But what happens if Granny wants to go home?
If you are successful in suing a hospital for malpractice, Medicare will claim part of your judgment if you do not provide for Medicare reimbursement in the lawsuit.
Subrogation will still occur under the new policy. However, Medicare will be more active in denying payment when no lawsuit is filed for the specified medical procedures.
Well said. Sadly many traitorous republicans are even in on this Marxist line of though.
“Wonder if a preventable but politicized disease like AIDs will be on the list. “
The following will never be subject to rationing.
1, any sexually transmitted disease.
2, rectal prolapse, etc
3, abortion.
BINGO! But they won't even need to go though the formality of a waiver for "politically correct" treatments like abortion. If necessary, they will just write abortion, HIV, etc. into the thousands of pages of HHS regulations that Sebelius is so diligently writing as we speak...
So there are hospitals with the audacity to bill insurance companies for procedures performed on the wrong patient? I wonder if they try hitting up both the wrong patient’s and the right patient’s insurance companies.
I am good with that notion. You are free to smoke, drink and be a fat pig. The rest of us should not have to pay for the damage though.
