Its also hurting hospitals. Reimbursement rates are lower and the govt is paying late.
Many hospitals are feeling the crunch which restricts their spending.
0bamacare has proven to be a disaster like we all predicted that it would be
Hope the last hospital I worked at feels the pain. First they outsourced billing, then they outsourced and offshored the transcription department where I worked, all in the name of saving money. This was after they remodeled and expanded the ER to service all the illegals and indigent people coming in. Of course, the new CEO was an Obama supporter who was ecstatic about healthcare “reform.”
We had not even hit the height of 0’care and I had a unexpected hospital stay of 3 days. NO pillows, all generic drugs, food not fit for hog swill. Bad nursing, slow response time, drug reaction never recorded even when it happened in front of the administering nurse. Yes, I can react that fast to a drug.
Next duty nurse brought in the same med. I refused it, told her why, she marked it as MISSED MED dose. Told dr, he was not better, ordered a ABORTION drug called Cytotec for a person with unknown cause severe AB PAIN. CRAPPY MEDICAL CARE!
Never once was it entered in my chart I had a very bad reaction to Bentyl.
