Over 2000 cuts just now I am a family doc in a small town in northern Ohio. I admit patients to a small hospital (40 beds) in the next town over. I have been in practice for going on 28 years...so I've seen some shit in my time. Quoting: acdr I don't know for sure what's going to happen over the next few years, I'm not psychic. I seriously doubt that my little hospital will be there in 2 years...they are already struggling...the current CEO is out for himself(that's my opinion). Obama will most likly swallow it up But It will still come down to taking care of people. OP and others have mentioned not enough doctors...Yep, that's going to happen But there are still a few of us that were called to this profession. Being a doctor is the only thing I wanted to do since I was 10 years old. Despite all the day to day BS I face, I still think I am living my dream. Despite what all the Fu**heads tell me I'm supposed to do, I will find a way to do what I think in smart and right by the people that see me. There is always some BS you can use that gets the right thing for that particular person. Don't think I agree with Obamacare and what's going on....its going to be a charlie foxtrot. But that damn responsibilty gene in me keeps rearing its ugly head...I will keep on trying. It is what I was put here to do. I feel like I am a dieing breed. So be it. I will go out feeloing I did my best Didn't mean to get preachy......sorry Awww, now you really are a doctor. Bless your heart! You keep keeping on and things will somehow work out. Bet lots of those who are called to the profession will find a way to help people no matter what. It might come to being a country type doc who flies under the radar. |

Over 2000 cuts just now Florida prison health care system to cut 1,890 jobs Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28104451 TALLAHASSEE — Nearly 2,000 state workers are being displaced from Gov. Rick Scott's administration because of the nation's biggest outsourcing of prison health care. "Due to the outsourcing of this function, your position will be deleted," reads a dryly worded dismissal notice from the Department of Corrections, sent to 1,890 state employees in the past two weeks. [link to www.tampabay.com] I have a feeling we are going to see a lot more notices like this. That's a lot of jobsfor just a few counties given taht some may be re-hired. What really gets me is people STILL claiming and pretending this is not going to be the end of healthcare as we know it. We can't just go back to the way it was as private insurance won't exist any more and it would take a long, long time to educate new doctors to replace the ones who will quit, retire early or not go into medicine in the first place. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.

Over 2000 cuts just now [link to www.lawyersandsettlements.com] "The Times investigation reported that cardiology is lucrative for HCA, which is reimbursed by Medicare $3,000 for each diagnostic catheterization and about $10,000 for the insertion of a cardiac stent. Thus, any evidence or allegations related to unnecessary procedures translates to more revenue for the hospital involved. This is not the first time HCA has been accused of Medicare fraud. A case pursued by the Justice Department dating back to 2000 resulted in the eventual payment of $1.7 billion in fines and repayments on the part of HCA. HCA denied its decisions at its hospitals were motivated by financial considerations, but rather "demonstrate the strong focus we have on quality patient care." It should be noted that HCA ethics officers investigate all complaints and allegations of unnecessary procedures. However, a review of various communications inherent with those investigations reflect a greater importance on how a physician's activities may have affected the hospital's bottom line, than the welfare of the patient." [link to www.nytimes.com] Multiple clinical trials have shown that cardiac stents are no more effective than drugs or lifestyle changes in preventing heart attacks or death. Although some studies have shown that stents provide short-term relief of chest pain, up to 30 percent of patients receiving stents have no chest pain to begin with, and thus derive no more benefit from this invasive procedure than from equally effective and far less expensive medicines. Risks associated with stent implantation, meanwhile, include exposure to radiation and to dyes that can damage the kidneys, and in rare cases, death from the stent itself. Yet one study estimated that Medicare spends $1.6 billion on drug-coated stents (the most common type of cardiac stents) annually. |

Over 2000 cuts just now The reason these cuts can be made is because with Obamacare hospitals and Dr.s offices are required to use EMR (electronic medical records). If they don't they get fined and or get reduced payment from the government. Some Dr's and hospitals are taking the hit but in places where Medicare and Medicaid are a large percentage of the billing that is detrimental to the bottom line. So anyway back to the EMR, because of it they can cut out alot of positions because in the way the system works billing is streamlined and pharmacy is electronic, ect... |

Quoting: truthwillsetyoufreeagain More outsourcing: [link to www.telegraph.co.uk] "If the medical tourist wants to go “cheap”, few countries beat India. Reports from various sources point to huge price differences: Heart surgery is typically priced at $50,000 in America, $14,200 in Thailand and $4,000 in India. For liver transplants, it’s $500,00 (America), $75,000 (Thailand) and $45,000 in India. For bone marrow transplants, prices are closer – $62,500 in both America and Thailand. In India, the bill is roughly halved. Clearly, with some of the treatment costs a fraction of the American rates, flights and a week or two staying in a top hotel are minor factors. India has quickly developed a lively trade, despite the known hazards of medical tourism – variable infectious-disease rates, different medical-accreditation standards for staff, and exposure to organisms against which the patient has no built-in resistance. This last point is a particular hazard for people in fragile health. Dysentery and mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue and chikungunya fever are widespread and could derail recovery. Long flights in cramped airliners are a known risk for circulatory problems." |

My hubby is the project manager here at our hospital for this EHR (Electronic Health Records). He has told me that when it's all up they would only need one person in the business office, right now there are around 30, so that right there that should tell you something. Also he's had recruiters calling him to be a project manager at other hospitals around the US because most hospitals were waiting to see how the election went before they did anything, thinking maybe Obamacare would be repelled. So I'd be looking for lots of layoffs soon. And seriously they are paying lots for these systems here we spent $4 million and it's a 45 bed hospital. They mean business with this too cause his starting salary and he's gotten these numbers from several hospital interviews begins at a base of $120/hr, not including bonuses and benefits. |
