jimmytavino 16 #3 January 24, 2014 not sure about Other places,,, but around here the people who make BIG $$$$$ in the health care business seem to be The Developers who Build ALLL these huge state-of -the -art Commercial buildings, which then house dozens of doctors offices,,MRI and X ray locations, Physical therapy Offices, Remote Surgical sites and which usually have entrances which look like Hotel Lobbies...Everything is done on leases, the "tenants" are only there 8 to 10 hours a day... Rent is assured to the property owners whether the "sick and infirmed " PAY or Not.... I see many MANY of these fine and fancy brick-built buildings, springing Up everywhere around here... All the while, as we have dozens and dozens of usable and functional properties going vacant.... I don't get it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisha 1 #4 January 24, 2014 jimmytavino ... All the while, as we have dozens and dozens of usable and functional properties going vacant.... I don't get it... Yup, but they are "not up to code" and the excuse is always that it will cost more to bring up to code than to build new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason was the belief that Dems provided the funds for mental health/substance abuse treatment. The administrative policies of all the programs I worked for was to make certain the paperwork guaranteed payment whenever possible. It was known as creative charting. I was considered quite good at it and my promotions granted accordingly.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

devildog 0 #6 January 25, 2014 Govt should just control everything. Only a fool would think that there's no scheming in any other private, for-profit (and even non-profit) sector. Quality might suck, and prices might go up due to a bloated, red-tape filled system (and tons of extra "employees") but at least with the govt, you don't have to worry about fraud, abuse, or general corruption.You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

The problem, as I see it, is that the more bureaucracy the more avenues for error and therefore fraud.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
