Many hospitals are in financial difficulty.
Do the Democrats have any plans for what happens if they can foist “Medicare For All” on us?
I mention Medicare for All, because depending on the what illness or surgery a patient is in the hospital for, Medicare may not pay the hospital enough to cover their costs of taking care of that patient.
If we go to Medicare For All, it is quite predictable that many hospitals will simply go out of business.
Hospitals will need to be financially subsidized somehow, in order to keep them operating.
Subsidise then socialize.
“If we go to Medicare For All, it is quite predictable that many hospitals will simply go out of business.”
I could see the Feds mandating that the hospital continue services even if they lose money. When that fails they take over the hospital and you have government hospitals.
Having recent major surgeries under Medicare I think I can make a few comments concerning payments.
Seeing what the ins. company was billed v what they paid is eye-opening.
Even allowing for the hospital padding the bill the payment to them was not even close to what I, as a patient , thought would be reasonable.
I can guarantee that there is no way to sustain the excellent care most can get with the meager government payments to the hospitals and Drs.
Any politician that says otherwise is blowing smoke. Not possible.
And then they want to add 20-30 million illegals?
What a joke.
What's it going to take to get you and millions of other, let's call them non-liberals, to understand Democrats plans are all about destroying the United States. Destroying US.
How can anyone look around at what is happening on our borders, in our courts, our schools, every level of our governments, to our entire culture and fail to recognize the destruction being wrought are acts of war against God and Country and the results of that war are meant to last forever.
Snap out of it.
Short term, they might stay in business. Long term, the system will not be able to pay good money for doctors and nurses, and young people will study other professions.
