“and do you expect there WILL NOT BE any special wavers”

I too share your skepticism, but this is a reimbursement issue and not a coverage issue. Having worked in hospital management for thirty years, too many hospitals spend more time gaming the government reimbursement system than they do in promoting quality care. Hospitals should do the right thing and provide some modicum of quality (value) in exchange for payment from the tax payers. The down side is that each new regulation is a step towards a national health system.
