Beaumont & Henry Ford Hospitals to Merge?

[beachboy]

This has a lot to do with the Medicare/Medicade pie. ... And not to get political, but this all has to do with the government. The government as a huge payer [[medicare/medicaid) of medical bills has put a ton of stipulations on their payments, as they should have, and it is causing these mergers and the swallowing up of the smaller hospitals.

adamjab, just an eenie-meenie, teeny-tiny clarification ... the government is not a huge payer of medical bills. Given the horrors of "Obummercare" we, the taxvictims, are the payers of upward-spiraling medical bills. And, in most cases, they're not our medical bills.

Important fact: It's not the government's money; it's our money.
