Health Law Bans New Doctor-Owned Hospitals, Blocks Expansion of Existing Ones
Monday, April 12, 2010
By Fred Lucas, Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) – The new health care overhaul law – that promised increased access and efficiency in health care – will prevent doctor-owned hospitals from adding more rooms and more beds.

These hospitals are advertised as less bureaucratic and more focused on doctor-patient decision making. However, larger corporate hospitals say doctor-owned facilities discriminate in favor of high-income patients and refer business to themselves.

Let me guess...Obama will nationalize hospitals next. Friggin' Marxist!

No doubt the health insurance industry had a hand in this too. No conflict of interest there!

So are they able to operate totally outside the realm of Medicare/Medicaid?

I know there are loopholes in the legislation where some good can come out of this.

Baby steps everyone, baby steps.... The Obama method of converting this country to socialism.

The objective here is to put all of us into a lull by making small changes over a long period of time to the system. They appear harmless enough at first, then one day we're going to wake up and realize that our government rationed food supply box didn't show up. Crap, no food today!
