Reply #120: How would the current bill not increase hospital profits?

[laughingliberal]

I don't think it's necessary for me to 'prove' there's a mandate for all Americans to obtain health insurance. I don't think it's necessary to prove there's no public option in this bill. I would think both of those facts are well know to everyone here. If you missed that I can't help you. With the hospitals facing almost no uncompensated care after the mandate kicks in and no public option to tie reimbursement to Medicare rates, it would be really odd if they didn't see their profits skyrocket. It really isn't rocket science.

Again, if my husband has been doing a lot of work for free and he will now be paid money for that work, our profits will go up. Same with the hospitals.
