You can read comments on new incentives for Accountable Care Organizations to reduce care, which were due September 2, 2014, including mine.

You can read comments on Hospital Readmission Penalties which were sent by June 30, 2014, including mine. You can also read comments which were submitted in 2013, including mine.

The readmission penalties seem excessive and likely to produce bad outcomes.

In addition, I am not certain why Jefferson Memorial Hospital (WV) should be excluded. It might become the location for a lot of these risky procedures.

Once again, we put the cart before the horse. The emphasis needs to be put on improving the quality of health care and the productivity of those who administer it... not on the patients who deserve to be taken care of. I am no advocate of socialized medicine or anything that smacks of it. Our hospitals have become for the most part cesspools of gross inefficiency, bureaucratic buck passing and mediocre care. Let's focus on making sure that those who are out to "milk the system" are excluded, not those who through no fault of their own have grown old and infirm. Above all, let's get rid of the paper-pushing bureaucrats whose focus is certainly not on treating patient illness.
