Those are the payment policies for OUTPATIENT services. OUTPATIENTS aren't admitted into hospitals. That has NOTHING to do with the limits and restrictions Obama placed on Medicare readmissions.

Here we have yet another example of Pew Research's findings: Those who vote for Democrats are the LEAST informed.

Well, I'm a Democrat, and no one has voted for me. They must be pretty smart, eh?

Two totally different things.

If your heart stops you are NOT going to the outpatient section of the hospital.
And if you heart stops within 30 days of discharge, again, they are not bringing you to the outpatient section of the hospital.

It is truly UNBELIEVABLE how uninformed some people are.
