B/C the Mrs wont let him smoke indoors, he must be living in the WH backyard----puffing away as the O/Care news grows more dire. Ed Henry oughta take a look back there.
When the Washington Redskins report seeing WH "smoke signals"....that's a clue (cackle).
============================================
MORE BAD NEWS In June, the Annals of Emergency Medicine published a study warning that the "rush to capitalize on the huge federal investment of $30 billion for the adoption of electronic medical records led to some unfortunate and unintended consequences" tied to "communication failure, poor data display, wrong order/wrong patient errors and alert fatigue." Also this summer, Massachusetts reported that 60 percent of doctors could not meet the EMR mandate and face potential loss of their licenses in 2015. And a few weeks ago, the American College of Physicians pleaded with the feds to delay the mandate's data collection, certification and reporting requirements.
Now the O/care flesh-eating disease is spreading---and O/Care's "Electronic Medical Records" is DOA. A Philadelphia orthopedic surgeon, has a timely reminder: "If you think signing up for Obamacare is a nightmare, ask your doctor how the EMR mandate is going."
============================================
WAIT'LL DOCTORS SEE THEIR INCOME DEMOLISHED October 2014 will usher in a new diagnosis coding called ICD 10.
Even the CMS official responsible for initiating this monstrosity has admitted that PHYSICIANS NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO ADEQUATE CAPITAL TO FUND THEIR PRACTICES FOR 6-8 MONTHS as this change will produce almost no revenue for that time period. Will your doctor be bankrupt around January 1, 2015?
=============================================
O/CARE'S MASSIVE PRIVACY INVASION Doctors, hospitals, and other health professionals are being pressured to adopt EMR systems and send patient information to the federal government's medical database by 2015. If they don't comply, they'll be penalized with reduced payments for services.This means the "friendly" Obama government will own your personal, private information, and you can do nothing about it.
The ICD 10 issue is a real fiasco. Insurance carriers incorporated the change into their systems months and months ago but its implementation keeps getting postponed because - surprise, surprise - Medicare is not ready.
