A large SC hamburger chain has told their employees that as these older associates retire/quit/ leave that they will not be replaced with fulltime associates. from now own only salaried employees will be full time and they will have their insurance deductable raised from $300.00 per year to $3,000.00 per year.. one supervisor told them that "you wanted obama; you got him" see what it does to you??

For about 12 years hospitals up have been the largest, and most stable
place to work. As you talk to doctors and other hospital personnel you get a bad sense about layoffs that are hitting the industry. That crap will be a bad hit to my community.

Can't wait to hear that fiddle when you or one of your family members need the ER and have to wait 6 hrs for help. Honestly I hope you never have to find out.

it is terrible when businesses cut waste to reduce costs.
and with more people being insured, emergency rooms will get far less business.

I was there for 4 yrs while my best friend fought cancer. Trips to chemo also drove him to the Lance Armstrong foundation in Indy. So go f yourself if you don't think I know about the health care system. He stayed at my house for 2 of those yrs I saw how it is first hand. So you can kiss my ###. I was serious about you never having to find out about the health care system wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Oh just to make you feel even more like a #### he was 27 when he died. Again kiss my ###

"unnecessary" tests run on "unnecessary" equipment? probably

depends a lot on your perspective.
my neighbor's kid recently flipped an ATV and suffered a suspected concussion, even though he got back up and rode the ATV home moments later. when he started displaying signs of memory lapses, they took him to the ER and ran some tests that disclosed a minor brain bleed. nothing too significant. and he's recovering. but it could have been much worse. one of those tests could have possibly saved his life.
so, expensive? yes. but, unnecessary? again, depends on your perspective. i'm not saying there's not waste. but waste is nothing new in the US. we waste more of everything than everyone else. nor am i agreeing or disagreeing with you. we run a heck of a lot of tests. many of which would not be run somewhere else. so we probably save a lot more lives that way. is it worth it? depends on how much you value each human life, which is a whole different discussion.

Interesting. I see a lot of news about the clinic cutting
Sep 23, 2013, 10:45 AM

$300 MM or more in budget, but no specifics on layoffs - certainly not "100's". Maybe your source is making it up?
In addition to the news articles I find, I also have a sister-in-law that works there. She is generaly concerned over layoffs, but hasn't heard any hard numbers...

if you'd just be willing to pay $546 for a hamburger.

Here's how hospitals mark up saline solution by 1,000%
Galen Moore
Few things are more common in a hospital setting than a bag of saline solution, used to administer medicines via intravenous (IV) delivery. They cost hospitals $1 to $5. The price listed on a hospital bill is frequently more like $100 to $500.
According to the report, hospital charges for IV therapy ranged from $91 to $787, even in cases where the hospital billed separately for items like administering the IV and emergency room services.
At White Plains Hospital, for example, one patient's bill showed a $91 charge for a unit of saline solution that cost the hospital 86 cents, according to the Times. Another bill included $546 for six liters of saline that cost the same hospital $5.16.

I find if funny how most do not realize that the Individual Mandate was suggested by the Heritage foundation in 1988, supported by Milton Friedman in 1991, proposed as the GOP response to Clintoncare throughout the mid 90's in a congress led by Newt Gingrich, and passed into state law in Massachusetts by Governor Romney in the mid 2000's.
