Oh I agree, some of those hospital execs are going to have to sell off the extra cars and houses, stocks and bonds, clothes and jewelry just to make ends meet this year!
What I find odd is that hospitals, incentivized during and throughout the covid with literal floods of newly-printed money, were unable to plan for a future that existed without Federal largesse. I hope they all go under.
Remains to be seen, I think. I don't know if there is/was any additional funds appropriated in the recent spending bill; everybody else seemed to get something. But you may be right; the covid spending spree may be over, at least for now.
How long can ANY business remain insured? in this high injury/death situation; or better to ask, how LONG can hospitals fake the fact they are no longer insurable or insured?
The jab deaths sort of obliterate any good hospitals do, in my mind. By the numbers, hospitals are creating lots more death than they are solving. Glad to discuss, but to order folks of all ages jabbed before a surgery, for instance, highly increases the death count. Using blood from jabbed donors is also killing folks. Antibiotic overuse has been killing as well for a long time and creating superbugs. Hospitals as we know them cannot be defended as preventing death in any way at this time. Again, glad to discuss, but this hard to refute.
I don’t disagree. Particularly since the onset of Covid. But I do not see a scenario where the hospital administrators ever suffer or are penalized for any of this: Covid management, dwindling income, nothing.
The estimates for death I have heard are 1 in 5 'people you know' will die 'soon'. ! I do wonder what can survive that. No hospitals is quite likely, I would think, coming soon. Trying to take the good with the bad.
This is going to get much worse if the past is any indication. I’m working on a new result. There are 3 waves. The first is acute, think the august mortality numbers. The second will draw out another year with infection provoked autoimmune injuries more deaths. What really threw me for a loop looking at past numbers was a noticeable jump in deaths related to “Ill-defined conditions-signs and symptoms” in 2012. 2 years after the H1N1 campaign.
Yes, they have to destroy it before they can BBB it. In the midst of chaos is when we will have our only chance to promote alternatives. Once they institute their fix, it could take decades to turn things around.
Exactly. Because who else is maybe going to hopefully perhaps recognize the molecular implications of what they're doing? 10 years of intensive medical education and training doesn't exist for nothing. And despite many bad examples, many if not most physicians (I get the feeling that that number is higher outside of the US system) do actually care about their patients and try to find the right solution. By removing physicians you remove molecular / pathophysiological witnesses to the crimes going on, and you also remove voices of authority.
There is currently a huge push for getting physicians / hospitals in Europe to accept AI solutions made from US companies with dubious, veiled backgrounds. They have employees going door to door in the hospital marketing these. An AI system means all patient info is instantly evaluated by whichever distant party has an interest: checkboxes ticked for mandatory treatments - yes or no? Connected to your phone; connected to your travel documents...
I suspect fancy book work to cover the huge windfalls by false Up Coding for the profitable ICD10 codes associated with “Covid” protocols and deaths. Why Becker also keeps reporting on CEO resignation’s. They are getting out while the getting is still good. There is a song with a lyric “take the money and run”.
In the midst of a global health crisis, "We are focused on navigating current market dynamics ..." Lovely. For-profit* healthcare was just a bad idea.
*Remember "non-profit" healthcare doesn't mean health professionals and researchers should not be well paid: it just means there are any stock holders or financial investors or money-managers at the top of the administration putting profit before quality healthcare.
ROTFLMAO. Okay so the same businesses who milked the system for 2 freaking years with every unethical and immoral scam they could are now going broke because all the vaxxed people are screwed up health wise? BWA HA HA HA
You did the "Amber Heard" and now you get to sleep in it. BWA HA HA HA
True but they really jumped the shark this time. Of all the immoral and unethical behavior that the medical establishment has done for two+ decades this one really takes the cake.
It is not just in the "for-profit" healthcare systems that went full greed mode. The socialized systems in the UK, Canada, New Zealand & Australia plus most of Europe sold their soul and now they pay the piper.
Seriously. One hallway alone, 30%? of the patients are perhaps there due to worsened / new conditions stemming from their 4 jabs. I say perhaps because we're not clicking the single box on the lab order forms that could actually reveal a condition connected directly with the jab rather than an 'unknown why this suddenly happened' stance. Meanwhile we went from more than 20 to 5 staff in one week due to yet another wave of Covid -- good that everyone is safe and effectively immune. And regarding costs: hiring temporary staff to come into an empty department is very expensive.
Except there's a heckuva new cash cow in "gender-affirming care." I was shocked that the major medical center/teaching hospital in my area jumped right on board too. These guys are gonna bounce right back with a vengeance.
I fear that but think you are right. In this bizarro world a young adult woman who is positive she doesn’t want children often can’t find a Gyn who will perform a tubal ligation for her, but these sick people will give minor children puberty blockers and even disfiguring surgery. It’s depressing!!
Well, to be sure, one shouldn't necessarily put all that much faith in the decision-making wisdom of adult women who are still young. It's unfortunate that birth-control devices that worked beautifully were withdrawn from the market because the geniuses at the FDA approved one that any full-witted woman could have told you was a bad idea.
The problem now is amnesia about not-all-that distant history. People's lives were destroyed by that Satanic panic thingy and yet here we are again, unable to notice how bad ideas spread.
Why would longer hospital stays hurt profits. That makes no sense. The hospitals by me charge $40k per day for room before insurance adjustments. It’s all a scam. Yes For Profit is bad but Free Market is good. We have nothing close to that in USA.
Hospitals lose money on Medicare and Medicaid patients, especially if they are in for medical reasons and not elective surgeries. If commercially insured patients delay discretionary care that hurts also. Finally ,all reimbursement rates are either negotiated and written into contracts or set by the government, and hospitals can’t just raise charges on anyone except the uninsured ( who often end up not paying anyway). US Healthcare is a weird market not like others, where sellers can raise prices to cover their expenses ( groceries, gas, etc). I’m not defending the current payment system—it’s terrible. But I agree it is in crisis. Americans need to become more serious about what they can do to improve their health, and avoid seeking medical care unless they absolutely have an emergency ( in my humble opinion!!!)
All the big systems have lobbyists, and I believe the Medicare reimbursement rate was just hiked 4%. My sense is much of the current problem is the higher cost of being in business and the workforce shortages. Of course I would say the vax mandates were a self-inflicted wound, and health care financing in the US has been a problem for years. But I’ve been a doc for 35 years , always been employed by various large organizations but have never seen such horrible finances.
Based on the recent evidence of long persistence even 12 months, of the spike protein in folks following the mandated products and it’s incredible inflammatory characteristic, the ongoing epidemic of chronic disabling diseases is likely to become worse. Inflammation does damage when it is chronic and systemic.
And think about what we're going to be dealing with 30 years from now when all of the chronic brain inflammation (spike + nano delivery + adeno passes right through the blood brain barrier) manifests in neurodegeneration. We think it's tough now finding nursing care for the senior generation?
Many healthcare orgs are in this same situation. I think a big factor is the inflation, worker shortage and in my system our outpatient visits are down too—we think some people are delaying care also due to high out-of -pocket costs I presume. We are having to hire a lot of agency nurses—lots more expensive than employed ones for sure. What irks me is that I have yet to see a healthcare org talk about rehiring some of those folks that quit due to the vax mandates, at least on the west coast.
The destruction of many institutions including insitutionalized medicine and in the near future is inevitable if for no other reason the financial underpinnings of these institutions will evaporate during the collapse that is being engineered. This will not be a "Last Comic Standing" but last institution standing situation.
I would not be shocked if the system of 3rd party payers is gone and if the government collapses there goes your Medicaid and Medicare, and say good bye to all entitlement programs as well.
Many of these programs will need to be rebuilt from the ground up and while it may not be a good time for all, eventually... when the dust settles.... we will have been ride of some very unlovely aspects of a society we have been used to but will be no more.
This is not entirely bad news I think, although the response to it, if unwise and unable to see the heart of the problem, may well make it worse. If you have read Ivan Illich's *Tools for Conviviality*, first published in 1973, you'll recognize the unmistakable description he rendered fifty years ago of the problems of industrializing anything, including medicine. He discusses two watersheds, one an early phase of industrialization where significant achievements alleviate actual suffering, and a later watershed moment where the system itself becomes dedicated to its own survival, using its earlier achievement as a rationale for the exploitation of society as a whole. I recommend the book as having great wisdom to offer our thoughtful united response to the implosion of systems which have existed for a long time for their own sake, in this case, a system of bureaucratic medicine which has long since abandoned actual care for people.
Which will incentivize faster “throughput” strategies, which I predict will increase ACM. From personal experience this year, after three days in the hospital ICU, the patient was actively pushed out the door. In a body bag two days later. It was distressing and disturbing.
I don't feel too bad for them, here is their millions a year salary in 2018: "Mass General Brigham's CFO Peter Markell and Chief Investment Officer John Barker each received compensation totaling $2.9 million in 2018, and Anne Klibanski, MD, who is now CEO, but was chief academic officer of the company in 2018, received $1.14 million."
The Fed will bail ‘em out. Central Banking is Marxist.
Just breaks your heart to watch these people lose money, doesn't it?
Oh I agree, some of those hospital execs are going to have to sell off the extra cars and houses, stocks and bonds, clothes and jewelry just to make ends meet this year!

Excellent point; the free lunch is over?

In all seriousness, they won’t be the ones who suffer. It will be the patients and staff. Mostly patients.

I believe at least a part of it has to do with an attempt to move medicine toward AI and "deprecate" the profession of a physician to a large degree.

Experts are baffled LMAO. What could it possibly be? It can't be the vax because it's never the vax.

These bastards won't be able to afford two tongue depressors to make a cross out of for praying for forgiveness!
Yeah, I'm pissed.
