CPR: Assemblyman Ash Kalra, D-San Jose, has introduced a new bill that would put California in charge of setting prices for hospital visits, trips to the doctor and other medical services.
Under the legislative proposal, the state would create an independent agency that would set prices for the health care market – prices that would be based off the current pricing structure for Medicare.
However, there would be a process for hospitals to appeal and argue that certain procedures require a higher rate.
“By building upon existing models, we can establish a transparent process by which increases in health care costs can be kept reasonable while also expanding access to care,” Kalra said at a Monday press conference.
Proponents of Assembly Bill 3087, including major labor groups, argue that it would help control rising health care costs and give consumers more predictability in assessing health care pricing, while opponents, like doctors and hospitals, maintain that it risks decreasing the quality of care and would cause physicians to leave the state. more here
Price List for illegals:
College…FREE
Surgery…FREE
Because it works so much more smoothly when government ‘helps out’.
Why not? Who doesn’t want to spend some time in a Cuban style hospital?
Like Obamadontcare wuzn’t bad enough… these assholes have to come along and make it even worse!!
They never learn.
Time to invest in health clinics in Las Vegas.
Oh, you’re Caucasian, let me pull out THAT price list for you.
Just think. Once this is imposed & all the doctors, nurses, & medical staffs leave for another state, Californicate can solve their homeless problem. All these empty hospitals can hold 6 cots in each private room, along with having a kitchen in the building to cook for & feed them.
Drastically reduce lawyer’s incentive to sue before telling doctors how much they can charge.
Eliminate government mandates and doctor, hospital rates will plummet.
I say, let them keep pushing the insane. These ass holes write these bill requiring no vote other than their butt buddies. Elections have consequences. These Socialists are trying to one up each other at a rate that sooner or later spells their demise or a split in the state. Maybe by force.
Kali is lost. We need to seal it off from the USA (and seal Mexico off) and allow it to wither on the vine. Once everyone has starved, murdered each other or committed ritual suicide we can reclaim the land and start over.
Dan, what dirt water town in Alabama do you live in?
Bad Brad, what gay bar do you hang out at?
The Plutonium Kid
I thought I recognized your name. the same one as you fag.
Do you have any idea what California adds to the US economy fool? The answer is getting our God Damn AG doing what he’s supposed to be doing. Mean while try and educate your self. Start with the Standford Regencies and the DOE. You quickly find you aren’t all that smart. maybe just smart mouthed.
Regents.
Somewhere in the fine print is funding for the Boondoggle Express.
This is blatant communism
At some point, even Mexico won’t want to reclaim California.
Well it worked really well for the Soviet Union.
Once that’s “working” they can start setting prices for everything- restaurants, hotels, cars, actors, etc.
