Under obamacare ER visits will be prohibited

When someone has a heart attack and is discharged, then 28 days later has another, the hospital can just tell him "We made a mistake in discharging you too early, but we can't readmit you so go home, take an aspirin and hope for the best."

They can always call a paralegal
 
Ratz and KrustyFrank... A liar and a certifiably crazy person. They need each other.

Until they need health care...then they need to zip it so they don't get put away in the rubber room with the protective helmet on.

It depends on when you need the health care. If its twice in 30 days, you won't get it. Or, you will get some pretty massive fraud. Someone who has a subsequent heart attack will still be admitted, but it will be called stomach pain, or a broken leg.

Huggies like to fantasize about mass murder, once he's committed he'll be there for the long haul
 
under provisions of obamacare, if you get discharged from the hospital and have a complication, you won't get seen in an emergency room.

more than 2,200 hospitals face penalties under obamacare rules | fox news

a provision of obamacare is set to punish roughly two-thirds of u.s. Hospitals starting this fall over high readmission rates, according to an analysis by kaiser health news.
Starting in october, medicare will reduce reimbursements to hospitals with high 30-day readmission rates -- which refers to patients who return within a month -- by as much as 1 percent. The maximum penalty increases to 2 percent the following year and 3 percent in 2014.
Doctors are concerned the penalty is unfair, since sometimes they have to accept patients more than once in a brief period of time but could be penalized for doing so -- even for accepting seniors who are sick.
"among patients with heart failure, hospitals that have higher readmission rates actually have lower mortality rates," said sunil kripalani, md, a professor with vanderbilt university medical center who studies hospital readmissions. "so, which would we rather have -- a hospital readmission or a death?"

obama's answer, he'd rather have a death.

how can you say something so fucking stupid???????????????????????
 
On the flip side.... would hospitals be able to force you to stay against your will? Can they now lock up for 30 days and force treatment upon you to avoid....punishment?



Interesting question don't you think?

Sure, lets go ahead and say that's true. Doesn't really matter what the law actually says anyway, we just need to cook some shit up to make Obama look bad.

No, we don't. Obama makes himself look bad enough every time he 'evolves'.

Under ObamaCare you will still be just as stupid as you were before it's implementation and just as much of a lying sack of liquid shit.

True Story.

They can readmit him.

Then they will be liable for medical malpractice.

That's not malpractice. It is medicare fraud which we should be used to by now since the government pays so little for care, medical providers have to make it up in fraud.

Sending someone home who is in need of emergency services is medical malpractice and may be against the law.

So, they will simply lie. They won't send someone home knowing the person will die. They won't admit someone under circumstances that will result in a massive fine. They will lie. They won't say someone had a subsequent stroke, it will be headaches. Chest pain for a prior heart attack victim will be stomach pain.

The government has already created the necessity for a massive fraud by refusing to pay for tests that were given, until the bill is padded with tests that were never given. Medicare reimbursement for an MRI might be $12.00. So the hospital charges for an MRI, CT scan, and anything else they can throw in there. Now you see reports that medicare fraud is in the billions of dollars. Sure. They have to. There's no choice. The government starts out being unfair, now they will get even more unfair resulting in yet more fraud.
 
You don't think people arent going to die because of this?

Penalizing hospitals with high readmission rates( which FYI, is usually do to infection and hospitals errors) is going to lead to more patients?

Or are you ranting about the ACA and not this specific provision?


A hospital bed runs you at a minimum 1k a day.......so again.....The intention of the law is for more people to avail themselves of services they cannot pay for.

The intention of the law is to punish hospitals for pushing patients out before they are ready.

Do you think it's cheaper to re-admit someone for an infection that could have been caught by the hospital had they not been released too soon?
So, we have more people with coverage, and you want to keep them in the hospital longer.

Do you want a private hallway, or a semi-private?
