Ask New Hampshire Democrats About Fines For The Most Vulnerable

Effective October 1st, 2012 (that means it started last week folks)…

Hospitals who re-admit patients within 30 days after they were discharged will now have to, under an Obamacare provision, pay fines as of October 1, 2012, which could force hospitals to slash programs that help the elderly, the poor, and the chronically ill.

According to a study, “about two-thirds of the hospitals serving Medicare patients, or some 2,200 facilities, will be hit with penalties averaging around $125,000 per facility this coming year.”

Just one of the many rotten Easter Eggs that Democrats buried in the 2500 page Affordable Care Act.  It will drive up costs and ..wait for it….limit access….to which patients?  The most vulnerable.

Do I need to remind you that New Hampshire Democrats like this bill?  And they wont lift a finger to protect New Hampshire’s most vulnerable (or anyone else) from this provision, or the next one, or the one after that, or the one after that ……
