Wait till Obamacare kicks in full time! You ain’t seen nothing yet.
I bet O malley and other Dems here consider this a victory.
Medicare and medicaid.
Let them all go out of business. Marylanders can medicate themselves with pot and gay love and WalMart-free zones.
Hospitals are a business like any other. If they can’t make a profit, then they cease to exist. Some people have gotten the idea that health care is a right and that they’re owed health care (maybe from the democrats and some republicans telling them that for decades). Ain’t so. Health care isn’t free. it costs for doctors, nurses, equipment, infrastructure, medicine, etc. Somebody has to pay for these things or there won’t be any.
Must have reduced the Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
Maybe the hospital ship Mercy can dock off the coast and give the poor indigents in MD some ObamaCare.
Wasn’t the ObamaBot governor, O’Malley, on TV last week confronting Texas governor Rick Perry, bragging how rich MD was compared to TX? Of course, that wealth is due to the federal bureaucrats attached to Big Goernment in D.C. instead of real workers in TX, who have to survive in the Obama Depression.
I recently went to the hospital and it was filled with illegals in the emergency room ... no wonder they can’t make a profit ...
Health care is too expensive, so the Clinton administration is putting Hillary in charge of making it cheaper.
(This is what I always do when I want to spend less money — hire a lawyer from Yale.)
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free. - P.J O;Rourke..
Congress(and their Staffs) and the Unions are running around like Keystone Cops trying to get exempted from Obama-Care..
WHY IS THAT?...
Keep this up and the bonds they feel to operate borrow money at these hospitals will dry up or cost them more than they can afford. Hospitals in the USA will go back to looking like those around in the 1930”s for the common folk.
Government setting prices, that always works.
I think that almost all the people using the medical system now are using it at the taxpayers’ expense. Folks who have to pay for their own care can’t afford it.
Most states would love to make 100 million in profits. The state has Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland which are great hospitals. Of course Anne Arundel Medical Center is pretty dang good too.
The Left has long openly called for health care, education and child care to become “No Profit Zones”.
They are finally getting their wish it seems.
It must be time to raise the cost of hospital aspirins up to $20 apiece. That will take care of the problem.
I guess, if the hospitals threaten to close due to falling revenues, the Maryland socialist DemocRAT government will force them to operate with reduced rates, a la Hugo Chavez.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
