By the way, that started coming last year. If you have MRSA which you got in the hospital, and go home and have to come back for more treatment, they want it to be on the house. In a mechanics shop, the say "come backs are free" If the car still runs rough, they don't get more for labor.
Healthcare that focuses on healing outcomes only will cause hospitals to decine admission for recurrent disorders. This is a bully clause. You don't go into a restaurant and order ala carte and get all you can eat. I can see a hospital refuse a re admission iif the government decieds site unnseen, it is the same thing the patient had last time.
