oK 3, ya better be right. I’ll be quoting you for days here

OK, understand that no where does it say “we are transferring assets from medicare to others”. You have to read through page after page of proposed limits, caps, standards, reviews, audit and than ask yourself what is the likely impact of this on the provision of services. some may come to different conclusions.

For example, there is a provision starting on page 322 (which I copied here yesterday) that sets limits on how much certain types of medicare providing hospitals can expand. I think that kind of micromanagement from the Fed’s will serve to discourage hospitals to provide medicare services.

Others may come to a different conclusion.
