The rules and regulations involving third party companies and health providers are already pretty strict. The whole 'gift' thing is tracked pretty hard core. Meaning you are a service guy on equipment at a hospital, you can't bring in coffee or many other things as it is seen as 'bribes' by the government.
Well Obamacare is moving it up a notch. You will shortly not even be able to comp overtime to the customer. Meaning you are working on a system and the clock ticks to the end of their coverage time (via their contract)... right now, you keep working and just comp an hour or two that it takes to finish up so they are not hit with a bill, as it makes more sense to finish the job than to leave and come back. Now that comp time is seen as a 'bribe' just like coffee.
So now you MUST pack up and leave their system, which means what? It will still be non-usable in the morning as the work is not done. Patients will need to be re-scheduled, which means more lost revenue for the hosptial, which means raised rates to make up for the loss.
In the end, higher costs for patients, and more frustration with rescheduled appointments and availability of equipment for needed procedures.
Just pointing out yet another downward slide for medicine due to Obamacare.
Hey look, more stupidity!
if it becomes a real issue, they will modify the rule. My guess is they were trying to go after payola on drug pushers and churning unnecessary procedures on per use licensing or rentals.
So Obamacare doesn't give people cooties? Thats a relief. Then I guess we have nothing to worry about.
But you've leveled a very specific criticism here, not this vague quality/cost thing you mention now. You have a specific objection and were asked what it's based on. How did you come across this information? You didn't provide a link, so I'm leanings towards "some guy told me."
Another from the tribe of anti-intellectuals I see...
One? both Bachmann and Palin are members of that tribe, along with the majority of cons on these threads ...
Your hyper partisan"slip" is showing. Good afternoon bj...
^^^^^^ fail
can't agree with you more ... they refuse to clean up their act ... btw, I like the mountain effect ^^^^^^^^^^
And he continues down the same road of FAIL he began in an earlier post.... :roll:
He? Who we talking about now? Romney? Are you referring to when he jumped in front of the cameras before the bodies were even cold to try to gain some political advantage from ther deaths?
No, probably referencing the person who went to a Las Vegas fundraiser the next morning...
you're probably right ... and yet it pales by comparison to what Romney did that night ... politicians rarely disgust me since I don't expect much from them, but that night Mitt almost made me vomit ..
If you want to visualize disgusting, think how those felt that were "lighting up" the enemy all the while believing help was imminent only to lose their life by doing so...
