Something I haven't seen mention in this whole mess is how these fools think that hospitals will cover the decrease in reimbursement that will be caused. I highly expect we'll see layoffs of some nonessential personnel in the industry and possibly even some small hospitals close.

That’s one of the ideas, to my estimation. Part of decreasing costs is decreasing services. They won’t say that they won’t cover something, they’ll simply create a situation in which the service is not available.

Try the feds logic in a grocery store.....

Just tell the checker, "I deemed a reduction of your prices by 21%.....now check me out so I can be on my way!"
