Quoting Jeff Jacoby at The Boston Globe:“PRESIDENT OBAMA is a great admirer of the Mayo Clinic. Time and again he has extolled it as an outstanding model of health care excellence and efficiency…
So perhaps the president will give some thought to the clinic’s recent decision to stop accepting Medicare payments at its primary care facility in Glendale, Ariz. More than 3,000 patients will have to start paying cash if they wish to continue being seen by doctors at the clinic; those unable or unwilling to do so must look for new physicians. For now, Mayo is limiting the change in policy to its Glendale facility. But it may be just a matter of time before it drops Medicare at its other facilities in Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota as well…
Why would an institution renowned for providing health care of ‘the best quality and the lowest cost’ choose to sever its ties with the government’s flagship single-payer insurance program? Because the relationship is one it can’t afford…
But if you think that sounds grim, wait until Congress enacts the president’s health care overhaul. A central element of both the House and Senate versions of ObamaCare is that Medicare reimbursements to hospitals and doctors - already so low that many providers lose money each time they treat a Medicare patient - will be forced lower still.”

Even the NYT knows this is
a national trend.
The
CBO knows as well as anybody that the big three entitlements (Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid) are bankrupting the nation. Contrary to Dim propaganda, it is an
objective, quantitative FACT that these entitlements are -- by far -- the primary driver of Federal deficits and ever growing fiscal crises at the state level (Medicaid is an unfunded Federal mandate which the states have to pay for -- except, of course, for those states represented by scumbag Senators --
like Nelson -- who sell their votes).
And yet, the moronic Dim proposal for improving upon what is quantifiably
the BEST health care system in the WORLD is to INCREASE the role of the Federal government in 1/6th of the nation’s economy?
Are they NUTS? The filthy, stinking, scumbag politicians are --
as ALWAYS -- the ones
who created whatever imperfections we now face!
Who -- other than moronic Federal bureaucrats -- could simultaneously
bankrupt the nation with skyrocketing costs AND bankrupt the single MOST efficient health care provider with plummeting reimbursements? It seems that
organized crime (both in the Congress AND in the streets) is the ONLY real beneficiary here.
Listen up! These
goddamn tyrants are not the LEAST BIT interested in improving upon ANYTHING! They are ONLY interested in
a fucking power grab!
FUCK ‘em!
I’m PISSED!
And, I will NOT take it anymore!
