Neither side seems decent anymore.

BTW ...... I've never perceived anything that Geezer has posted as an attack on me.

I do know that it is hard to keep posts about HC reform on point. There are so many aspects of it that to keep them in neat compartments is difficult.

I am not, and have not, attacked Jeff during this whole recent discussion about the ACA and rinocare. In fact, I specifically asked him to comment on the matter a few days ago. Jeff changes his opinions when new facts present themselves, and he is not bashful in saying so. That's a good thing.

But one thing I do know. You, SLF, are not a lawyer. No fiduciary could possibly not know what the AMT is.

I never said that you were attacking Jeff. You are attacking me. When I said something cross to you, Jeff rightly called me on it. I'm waiting for him to call you on it too. The fact that he doesn't tells me something.

And I never said I didn't know what the AMT is. Why do you insist on always acting like you know everything, when you clearly do not.

Hack do you have the Tennis channel?

Arguably the greatest rivalry in the history of tennis will continue at the BNP Paribas Open tonight 8:PM Roger Federer quarter-final clash with Rafael Nadal.

Jeff,

We get what's called a DSH payment for indigent. It traditionally covers 30% of the costs incurred.

Geezer,

Yes, you get treatment. As basic and as limited as we can get away with. We will deliver the baby, get you angioplasty for a STEMI (heart attack) and stop your bleeding from your cut or cast your broken bone, etc. chronic diseases, not so much.

SLF,

Most hospitals won't really raise prices for indigent care -at least for several years- as we can't really set our own prices any more. The government and insurers do. So, we write-off what we can to offset this. Some states, counties, and municipalities do have us included in their tax schemes for indigent care, too, so there is that.

I don't think that Hospitals raise prices directly in response to indigent care anymore than they raise prices directly in response to increased regulation. But nothing in life is free, and it is being paid for somehow. Either in lower profits for shareholders, lower wages, less investment, and/or increased overhead.

[AlabamAlum]

Well, sure. Someone pays for it. .Someone always does. Regardless of the scheme.

[SeattleLionsFan]

Except for the sick person who is treated. They pay nothing, except maybe bankruptcy.

Hospital administrators are right behind mass murderers and accordion players in the line for the 7th Circle.

Thanks, Wings. Appreciate the headsup. Although, I'm working 9-12pm today and then taking much of tomorrow and Friday off. But I really have to get back in the habit of watching tennis.

We're as hated as lawyers. Sad!

Lol! I went from working in Customer Service at a health insurer to law school. I don't know that was a step up in likeability.

If you could transition to the IRS, you would have Hate Yahtzee!

Or infiltrate the high society circles of South Platte, NE. Major pricks, that lot.

[AlabamAlum]

Let's not limit it to Best Platte. Nebraskans, in general, are the most hated dregs of society.

[Wild Hoss]

Foul lies and deflection from the Pachyderm State. Sad!
