Pffft. Don't you know that bureaucrats know more about healthcare than medical professionals?
The intention of the law is to force hospitals one way or the other....keep them...or pay a fine. The bottom line it is all about patients receiving care they cannot pay for.
Remember....this is about obamacare.... and not about paying customers. I don't blame hospitals for moving out patients who cannot pay as soon as they can. Its a money loser for them.
I simply disagree.
I think it's a good thing. Most bounce backs are preventable, by either doing the proper follow up with patients or not early releasing those who aren't ready yet.
And who is to say....they are ready? The patient or the doctor? Ever think the "preventible infections" you speak of are due to patients not taking their meds when they get home? Should a hospital be responsible if a patient does not follow orders?
