My Comments: Here we are at the beginning of 2015 and virtually all of us want to experience good news as opposed to bad news. I suspect we will have some of both as the next twelve months appear. Among the good news I’d like to experience is a recognition by the new Congress that …

2015 PPACA Compliance Checklist
My Comments: It’s hard to believe the PPACA (ObamaCare) has been around for so long. And in spite of the new Congress making lots of noises about making it go away, it’s not going to go away. Will it change? Most definitely. Are changes necessary? Most definitely. But the overall intent to bring millions of …
Will There Really Be a Doctor Shortage?
My Comments: There is one already. An unintended consequence of ObamaCare ( the PPACA ) is that millions of people who have until now waited until the last minute and then went to an Emergency Care Center are now trying to get appointments with MDs who were already busy people. Not enough people are yet …
Hospital Sticker Prices
My Comments: No, this has nothing to do with the price of hospitals that are looking for buyers. This has to do with the sometimes dramatic discrepancy from one hospital to the next for what you are charged for the same medical procedure.

Corporations Have More Religious Freedom Than Taxpayers My Comments: My initial reaction to the Hobby Lobby issue was to commit to never stepping foot in any of their stores. Beyond that, my reaction was pretty typical of those to the left of center in American politics. But I've not become truly engaged in this issue as …

These cities are all over the map—and so are their medical prices My Comments: A lot of my posts lately have been about healthcare. I guess that’s because as I get older, I find myself paying more and more attention to my personal health circumstances. It doesn’t help that my clients are also older and …

US Health Care System Ranks Dead Last
My Comments: For the past several days I’ve been involved in a fantastic LinkedIn discussion about why so many foreigners come to this country for medical care when we rank dead last in globally published metrics. The gist of it is that if you can afford it, we are fantastic, but if you can’t, then …
Want to Increase Hospital Revenues? Engage Your Physicians
My Comments: Keeping more of what you earn resonates with a lot of people. I recently found a newly minted idea that dramatically increases ones ability to keep more of what you earn. It dovetails with this post about physicians. But it is not limited to physicians and hospitals, but to virtually any successful small …
