Important Health Care Announcement...

Mayo Clinic (Glendale, AZ) announced today that they will
no longer accept future Medicare patients, etc...

http://industry.bnet.com/healthcare/...care-payments/

...Jim Thompson

Was listening to the radio today. I think that it was the
substitute for Rush Limbaugh...
They mentioned the Amish communities that put aside a cash
reserve for health care. When someone needs medical care
(at a hospital), they negotiate a cash price rate. This
rate is substantially lower than the normal insurance rate.

What does this say about another layer of middlemen and
bureaucrats that would only further raise the costs of care
when government gets involved?

That it can negotiate for lower costs,

Government does not 'negotiate'. It legislates, mandates, and
dictates.

Must be why it had to be specifically prohibited by law. lol

Liberals love to mangle the language and that is a good example
Medicare does not 'negotiate' ANY thing.

Not now, anyway, they prohibited it by law. lol

They never have for ANY thing, you damn snip ass liar.


Next you will be telling us the VA does not 'negotiate'.

Oh, wait, you already did that. HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW

Typical liberal liar as the first 4 words explicitly explain "DoD
Final Rule Mandates..."

"which requires..."

"every manufacturer must offer... equal to or below the Federal
Ceiling Price ("FCP")."

"despite the "voluntary" label, DoD states... pricing to TRRx at
or below FCP to be mandatory.."

There's your lying ass 'negotiation'.

"WAIVER
Under the Final Rule, DoD has indicated that the obligation to pay
refunds for TRRx
prescriptions filled in 2008 could be waived in whole or in part
pursuant to a negotiation of
"voluntary" agreements regarding the prospective availability of
covered drugs to TRRx at
or below FCP."

Why, you're right, there it is, right there. "Negotiation".
Gawrsh, reading really IS fundamental!

Yes, just like the word "voluntary" for mandatory price requirements
is "right there" and the supposed 'negotiation' line you quote is
that the RETROACTIVE penalty (required refund for not complying
with rules that didn't exist at the time. How so 'liberal') 'might'
(could) be 'waived' if one 'voluntarily' agrees to the MANDATE.

And a mugger 'might' not shoot you if you 'voluntarily' hand over
your wallet.

As I said, Liberals love to mangle the language, a generous
alternate description to what the average person would
understandably call "lying."


OK, have it your way - government never negotiates. The
republicans paid the price in 2008 for preventing medicare from
negotiating drug prices when no such thing was ever possible - and
Obama got a health care deal out of the Pharma companies by
promising the bill would not do something that was already
impossible. lol

Apparently, under your scenario, republicans are real dupes.

You're a goddamned idiot.


About all you ever say around here, innit? lol
