Reply #129: Hospitals should get paid for the uninsured patients they treat rather than going bankrupt.

[ClarkUSA]

Under the HCR law, hospitals will lose $155B in federal funding over 10 years. A new independent commission would have broad authority over Medicare spending, which will cut down on fraud and waste. Furthermore, under Title VI, Section 6001 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a provision is titled “Physician Ownership and Other Transparency – Limitations on Medicare Exceptions to the Prohibition on Certain Physician Referral for Hospitals” will ban new doctor-owned hospitals and blocks expansion of existing ones.

All in all, I don't have a problem with hospitals getting paid by the federal government under the HCR law for the undocumented workers and uninsured Americans they treat rather than face bankruptcy like St Vincent's in New York's Greenwich Village. Not sure why you think there's something wrong with that.
