Here is a Draconian Idea for "Fixing" Healthcare,"Hospitals Can Save by Doing Less".....Horrors...


The Study is odd, it basically Blames Hospital Costs on Increased Infections and MRSA Infections and Re-Admissions ( the joke here is that if People are Discharged from CARE TOO soon, that is a RISK and yes, they will be readmiitted..)This is a Conservative Notion, that if we cut back on Screening and Tests and Care, and Improve "Effeciency" it will save money...that if we all cut back on Care it will Save Someone Money.....20,000 people a year die of NO Insurance and NO Care, so the skeptical nurse part of me wonders Ohhhh, is that a Cost Saving Measure ?....It is time to end this era of Negligence.. The latest Un-Insured Numbers are Atleast 48 Million, ( it was 47 Million in 2004 ) with 5 MIllion more UnEmployed this year, the Number could easily be above 52 Million...We can no Longer be Ostriches about this situation, but cutting Care is NOT the Solution....

(( You know it makes me sad we have No One really advocating for us in the Senate or the House on Health issues...really sad...I miss Hillary speaking on it or Teddy....sigh....))
