It won't cost them their lives like Obamacare will. Limiting readmissions for relapses and/or complications WILL cost lives.

Seniors, you better hope you don't become ill or require surgery after hospitals have already hit their readmissions limit

I'm guessing you're trying to claim that hospitals have the discretion to not treat a returning patient becuz the reach their penalty limit, right? You have some authority or citation that supports your nonsense?

2. The population is dumber. The hero worship on this guy is like nothing Ive ever seen before. The unemployment rate is higher than when he took office. Sad...
You forgot conclusion #3: he's still a better choice than Mitt Romney!

Don't be surprised when Democrats are bringing up Bush in the 2030s and still winning elections by doing so, GOPers. You had your fun voting for that stooge twice. The party is over now. It's time for the adults to clean up the mess.
Comparing obama to radiation treatments is a pretty good analogy. He sure does make me sick!

You're discounting the fact that the current president is matched against one of the most incompetent, gaffe-prone, unlikeable, and unappealing presidential candidates of all-time.

Romney is an empty suit. "Just elect me. That's all you people need to know."

Don't be so naive. I've worked in the hospital for many years. They are already encouraged to keep patient stays to a minimum but I have seen time and time again where patients return days later and in worse condition. One thing I know is your health can be unpredictable. We all heard about people going to the hospital with a certain condition and they were sent home and they died shortly after coming home.

Families are not educated enough to take care of family and home care nurses can not stay there all the time. Believe me, if you are admitted to a hospital and they are discharging you, you better go out kicking and screaming because if you have to return to the hospital before your 30 days are up, your in trouble.

I see two things happening here. People will basically be getting a death sentence and there will be allot of law suits.

No one, other than a doctor should dictate the treatment or patient care. NO ONE, not even Obamacare!

Now by law, Obamacare will dictate your healthcare.

Pay special attention to the last sentence.

The reform of capitalism, when the capitalist system is sufficiently neutralized the rest comes relatively easy.

You would be fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not the character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner.”

P-E-W says it all.

And of course the Republicans---those intelligent, erudite, common-sense, rational-thinking folks gave us Mitt Romney.

This election was handed to President Obama on a silver platter. Thanks GOP!!!!!
