Heaven help us.

Of course. Legislation improves everything.
So glad I don’t live in that god-forsaken hellhole.
Wow, speaking of reality denial. Legislation creates camels when the objective is to improve horses.
Mandating a 45 minute gap between patients without regard to how long the actual dialysis clinic thinks it should take?
Sounds like a smoke break.
And plenty of prayer time for Muslims.
California is about to pass a bill for single payer insurance, that will give all illegals taxpayer funded medical care..
If you are not illegal you can forget getting dialysis. You can forget about getting anything medical...it will go to the invaders and new permanent dem voter base.
Also Brown just signed a bill for massive tax hikes on car registrations, fuel and other things all in the name of fixing the roads in cali. Of course billions of that money is not going for the roads.
Idiot legislatures thimk if you have it on paper staff will magically appear and be fully trained
This has nothing to do with governmental legislation. This has to do with a feel good program to make the voters swoon while assisting United Healthcare West and their product, the SEIU-UHW, to gain more control of the medical base of insurance in California. For government and the UHW company, it is win/win.
And the taxpayers will end up paying the bill when the businesses bail out of California just like they did with the auto insurance proposition 103 they created in 1988 that chased many of the insurance coverage people out of California.
Those liberal idiots just do not learn.

I took my Elderly Aunt to Dialysis three times a week for a Year. She was Blind, so I stayed with her while she was getting Treatment which lasted three to four Hours.
The Staffing Numbers they are coming up for what they consider proper Care are ridiculous.
Appointments are setup to maximize use of the very expensive Equipment and most of the time the schedule was met without delay.
The Machines Recycle after each Patient. The “Filters”, are not shared and the Tubes used to hook up the Patient to the Machine are new and thrown out after the Treatment ends.
There is always room for improvement, but the Dialysis Centers already have to meet certain Patient Health levels or risk not being paid for their services, even for those Patients that do not follow Diet and Lifestyle Protocol for their own care.
My hatred of Government grows every day.
Two problems, though. First, the osmosis worked both ways. She absorbed a lot of sugar out of the solution, and gained weight without having enjoyed eating the sugar. Second, she had to be very careful about infections, since there was a direct connection to her abdominal cavity. Despite considerable care in keeping things sterile, she'd occasionally get an infection. That meant putting an antibiotic into the dialysis fluid before filling her abdomen with it. That always cleared up the infection, but the infection was an indication that somewhere she'd slipped up on keeping things sterile.
She eventually died of complications from the tuberculosis she'd had as a child. However, I'm grateful for the additional five years I had with her, made possible by CAPD.
If you or a loved one needs dialysis, at least ask if CAPD will work for you or them. It's not for everyone, but if it will work for you, it's a lot better than a dialysis machine.
But improving safety at abortion clinics is draconian.
