		<description><![CDATA[How They Can Survive and Thrive
For America’s community hospitals, using the traditional cost-shifting revenue model is the maddening equivalent of simultaneously playing rugby, Australian-rules football, major-league baseball, and cricket—dictated by the rules of multiple third-party payers rather than by rational pricing models.  Success is ultimately dependent on having enough privately insured patients to subsidize the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Employers to the Rescue?
In Part 1, I explained how the only way hospitals have been able to survive their money-losing Medicare and Medicaid patients has been to charge higher rates to private payers. That’s why private insurance now costs $1,788 more per family than it would if the government paid the same provider prices as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Readers,
I need your help (and no, it’s not a request for money).
The attorneys general (AGs) in at least 14 states (Colorado, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Nebraska, Texas, Pennsylvania, Washington, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota,Idaho, and Indiana) have joined together to challenge the constitutionality of the just-passed federal mandate that will require all documented [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of President Obama’s most frequent health reform mantras is, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.&#8221;  This is consistent with his belief that we “must build on the current employer-based system” that insures 158 million people who comprise the vast bulk of all privately insured Americans.

		<description><![CDATA[As part of his last-ditch effort to revive the Senate’s undead health reform bill, President Obama has proposed a federal board to veto health insurance premiums it finds “unreasonable and unjustified.” In case you’re wondering, all 50 states already do this, albeit with the countervailing requirement that premiums must also be “adequate” to assure insurance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Brown won the Massachusetts senate race by promising to derail the Democrats’ congressional health reform locomotive, a victory that has also thrust his biggest supporter, Mitt Romney, back into the national spotlight. The irony is that, as state senator, Brown helped pass then-Governor Romney’s remarkably similar 2006 state health overhaul. Despite Mr. Romney’s statement [...]]]></description>

Hurried rescue missions failed to prevent widespread pain and suffering. Such is life for the Democrats following the Massachusetts special [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s a common delusion making the rounds of Congress and The New York Times that says we must force employers to pay more of their employees’ health insurance costs in order to reduce the workers’ financial burdens. The problem is that employer insurance payments are simply one component of total employee compensation. Arbitrarily increasing this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thursday’s (10/08/09) much heralded CBO report telling us that the Senate Finance Committee health care reform bill will cut the federal deficit by $81 billion over the next ten years is a diversion at best and accounting fiction at worst. Any way you slice it, this health reform bill is going to cost you more.
