Another Major Metro Atlanta Hospital Is On The Brink
I am not defending the management of Clayton County because I know nothing about it. Yet it is no secrete the heath-care system is broken. County hospitals emergency rooms are being used as a free heath-care system for people with no insurance.
Also the government as well insurance companies are squeezing payments to the hospitals for people who have insurance. This is a train wreck waiting to happen.
BTW giving tax breaks ie heath savings accounts to the unemployed or underemployed will not do much to solve the above problem. We need a real honest conversation about how to solve this issue.
It is time to talk about a mandatory pay system with letting people buy supplements to up grade. My libertarian friends will argue that this is big government. Yet letting people die on the streets is unacceptable and untreated sick people are a risk for all us via spread of disease.
Ideologues are great for debate over a bottle of wine and few beers, but we must deal with the real world.
PP-Southern Regional Medical Center, (f/k/a Clayton General Hospital), may have to close at the end of the month:
They have a maternity service. Most of their babies are illegals. Enough said. One of the reasons uneducated, unskilled peasants could afford to send $23 billion back to Mexico last year.
