Hahnemann is the primary hospital in Philadelphia for police escorted patients. Every year, hundreds of peer induced trauma patients are admitted, racking up untold hundreds of thousands in medical bills, without the slightest thought of paying them. In fact, this census is more likely to bring a law suit against the hospital. So, who pays? Doctors, Nurses, Technicians, and support staff, by losing their jobs. Some people don't just take, they destroy as well.

Of course, this was before Katrina....
Places like this are not for the faint of heart

“A day after Hahnemann University Hospital announced its plans to close, the Pennsylvania Health Department issued a Cease and Desist Order, telling the owners they must first file a detailed plan that ensures the safety of people who depend on the institution for care.” = ‘you must keep working for free for us’?

Many hospitals are in financial difficulty.
Do the Democrats have any plans for what happens if they can foist “Medicare For All” on us?
I mention Medicare for All, because depending on the what illness or surgery a patient is in the hospital for, Medicare may not pay the hospital enough to cover their costs of taking care of that patient.
If we go to Medicare For All, it is quite predictable that many hospitals will simply go out of business.
Hospitals will need to be financially subsidized somehow, in order to keep them operating.
To: South Hawthorne
So does this mean that the hospital is simply choosing to decline “police escourted” patients, or is the ER, or even entire hospital closing closing completely?

There goes your “Right” to healthcare.
If I have a “Right” to your Labor and Expertise as a Medical Provider, doesn’t that make you a Slave???
As you can see Slavery doesn’t work without whips and chains.

Someone will have to explain to the stupid state bureaucrats that there are no money trees or unicorns. You need money to run hospitals.

I went to the emergency room on a busy night. Placed me in the hallway. Then they put me in a room with a gang banger who had been stabbed. He had a visitor after he was transferred. I think the visitor was there to finish the job. I could have been mistaken for him.

To: South Hawthorne
My dad used to work as a maintenance man at Hahnemann around 1967 or so. I would go to work with him on Saturdays. The things I saw in that place I will never forget. One day he says to me come on I have to change some light bulbs. I followed him down to the basement where he went into a room and opened a walk in cooler door. There they were. Dead people of all ages hanging by their ears with old ice tong looking things stuck in their ears. I almost crapped myself and dived under a table scared to death.

If I drive for 1 to 1 1/2 hours from home, I can get to an Emergency room that isn’t full of Gangsters,thugs and Illegals, And the wait will be less than 6 hours.

This is what happens when a majority of patients have Medicare. Medicare rates only cover about 60% of the cost of services. And if YOUR illness is not within the statistical norm for the fees, tough shit...the hospital doesnt get paid more if you stay longer.
THIS is an example of what the world will look like if any of these Medicare for all idiots get their way.

If they give up their trauma status the patients will automatically be directed to another Trauma center.
I worked in a non trauma hospital. Every once in a while a gunshot victim would be rolled out of their car in front of us. The ED staff could help them, but we transferred them pretty darned fast.

A human right does not require someone else to pay for it.

With about 4 mass shootings per day in cities just like Philadelphia it is no surprise treating gunshot trauma at no charge would bankrupt any Hospital...
