Herr Trump, “If you are going to do it, then do it.” Quit threatening us with tariffs on the supply base that supplies us with goods. You are not going to pay for it. The government will not subsidize us. There has been nothing accomplished by all of this except for embarrassment. Do you know […]

If you are not aware, each group bids on the area they will serve. CMS pays them a certain amount. What occurs is over-prescribing the condition of the patient and withholding care.

It is difficult to believe Americans do not have a negative opinion about the 2017 income tax cut which as expected did not pay for itself. Instead, we have trillions in deficit which we will have to make up. The benefit went to the upper 1% and you can throw in the 5% also. Similar […]

I worked in Supply Chain a lifetime.

By law, everyone who arrives at emergency departments must be assessed and stabilized, regardless of their ability to pay. This makes EDs, the most expensive form of healthcare, a provider of last resort for the uninsured. Nationally, hospital EDs handle 120-140 million visits each year, and the number of hospital emergency departments is declining, with […]

I guess I should preface this with my thoughts. Would a sane man do something such as what Trump is doing? What would be the point of raising tariffs and crashing the economy? Business will recoup; but will citizens quickly? There are millions of citizens who do not have the $millions who may never recoup. […]
