Obamacare Set To Drive New Wave Of Hospital Bankruptcies

[healthmyths]

Back in 2008, one of the biggest arguments in favor of Obamacare was that the legislation would help alleviate bad debt at hospitals created by people who required emergency care but didn't have health insurance or the financial means to cover their treatment

WOW! And those of us that had health finance expertise TRIED to tell people Obamacare was going to really screw up the already screwed up system...thanks to the 1986 EMTALA Act...by GOP I might ADD!
1986 EMTALA act... look it up EMTALA // ACEP
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) is a federal law that requires anyone coming to an emergency department to be stabilized and treated, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay, but since its enactment in 1986 has remained an unfunded mandate.
So what happens is hospitals OVERCHARGE insurance companies and those that can pay i.e. $10 aspirin!
As one hospital CEO when asked "How do hospitals deal with the cost of the uninsured?
His answer: " Like any business, we pass it on to the paying customers."

NOW folks...there NEVER was a health care crisis UNTIL OBAMA MADE IT ONE!
He lied several times to get Obamacare passed and here is the proof!

It has always been the way of liberalism to end up with failure, because when everyone is equally miserable and poor, then there is total equality(except for the liberal elites who have all the money). So just like in Washington DC where it was forced upon DC general that all people who show up at the ER must be treated, those that didn't pay got free service and those that could pay had to pay more. So eventually those who did pay more didn't go to DC general but Georgetown Hospital, DC general closed their doors because they could no longer pay the bills. Those people who cant pay are now using Prince Georges Trauma Center and the Maryland government has to tax it citizens more so they can fund the FREE service that now is provided by illegals and blacks who used to go to DC general, because those who used to go to PGTC now go to Anne Arundel Hospital. When all the hospitals close because of all the FREE service given to those who wont pay, then no one will be taken care of and I pray to God the liberals end up dead on the streets, because when no one gets care, it will be liberals who cause that....

The GOP can create a better government program for all Americans if it wishes.

Since it does not, then as the majority party, the blame falls on it.
