You can check all our local hospitals. See, there are very good parts of this law which nobody can argue. Why is it that the only answer to some people is just to scrap the entire law? There are many good parts to it.
Thanks for your time.

I can say one thing for sure. They have pretty much covered ever single thing they can now to TRY AND REDUCE PAYMENT. Because that is what this is about.
Dont expect a reduction in errors. Not with staff being cut while operations cost continue skyrocket.
I suggest you pick on subjects youre familiar with.

There obviously wasn't any quality control when they were writing this grand legislative fiasco up since there's already 33,000 plus pages that no one has read that require a complete rework and most likely another 33,000 plus pages that no one will read to correct the first 33,000 plus pages that no one has read.
Thanks.

Well, I consider the source. And you are not a credible source judging by the crapola you type on here, daily.
My point is that there are many good parts to this law that will make a difference and cut costs, so why does the entire thing have to be scrapped? Why cannot we just fix what needs to be fixed?
Oh, I forgot. We are talking about the black guy, here. We cannot just fix what he does: it must entirely be thrown out.
I wonder if the U.S. Constitution was treated in this manner?
No, it has been amended no less than 27 times.
Thanks for making my point.
BTW, I notice no avatar, Chrissy? Why is that?
LOL

Hospitals who have a large number of readmissions will be paid less.  That is an iincentive to make sure a patient is fully recovered before being discharged.

Chrissy is exactly right. I've worked in healthcare for thirty plus years... she even left out some obvious ones like osha.

It's understandable... there are literally layers and layers. Perhaps you can explain what this simple fact has to do w race?

Nice talking point though... your enthusiasm is an inspiration to cheerleaders everywhere.

It is not a revelation, nor did I infer such. But, Joani's nasty response is another example of how it is not possible in your racist, bigoted, jaded eyes to agree with the black guy without worshiping his reverence. I have to get nasty, sarcastic remarks belittling me for wanting what is best for all Americans; a proper healthcare system that is not broken.
People who actually work in healthcare know that little things like nurses and x-ray techs smiling and being nice is very important. Again, your extended time out of the workforce is rearing its ugly head again. You are not knowledgeable in this, so you can keep making yourself look dumb, your choice.
Thanks.

Nurses and xray techs....don't give yourself away, Carl.  

Being nice and smiling doesn't really have much to do with the quality of care a patient receives. Suppose you are in a hospital with smiling nurses and Xray techs who do not practice good handwashing technique, are you more likely to contract MRSA? Damn right you are....smiling doesn't prevent poor care.

My time in the "workforce" has given me the knowledge that you will never attain. Now run along and make some more posts about the black guy and how all republicans are bigots and racist.....keep posting your opinions; opinions are all you have when the facts are missing or fabricated.

I am glad you asked, but we will start with the second part in bold.
Why is it if I support anything the sitting President says or does, than I get a nastily sarcastic jab about being a cheerleader and worshiping the greeaaaat Messiah. In your jaded, bigoted eyes, I cannot just agree with the black guy, I must worship him. So sad, really. You never heard this when Dubya when President. You never heard anything about bowing and kissing the messiah's feet. That nasty sarcastic vitriol was not coming from me or any progressive that know. That only started when the black guy was fairly elected by the majority of voting Americans. Which brings me to the first part in bold. Since it is the black guy, then the entire legislation just needs to be totally scrapped. Why cannot it be fixed? If it was something not done by the black guy, then it can be amended and fixed much like the U.S. Constitution. (27 amendments no less)
That is why it is about the black guy. The nasty, sarcastic vitriol that was not present when a white guy was President, and the fact that what the black guy did must just be totally thrown out with the trash unlike how legislation the white guys do which can be fixed and amended.
So sorry I must constantly explain myself over and over.
I keep hoping some sort of logic and reason will kick in at some point.

Most conservatives never even read past the little (R) or (D).
My point was that the sitting President is held to a higher, stricter standard than any of his predecessors, for some unknown reason that nobody will admit. Many people were really mad at Dubya, but the hateful vitriol that we are growing accustomed and numb to is new, and almost all directed at the black President.
Thanks, again, p-bum.

If you could do it, you could get paid that much too.
The low information voter elected a totally inexperienced "leader" and look at the results.  Mass chaos.

Funny how someone who does not subscribe to your far-far-far-far-right position is considered a 'low information voter.'
So, the majority of American voters are low information.  I would have to question your definition of the word, 'information.'  If you define 'information' as the non-factual, lie-based, xenophobic far-right propaganda that you shove at all of us, than I understand your ignorance.
Now, really? Mass chaos?? Can you say, "slight exaggeration??" LOL
The economy is adding jobs every month, the Dow is at its highest point, ever. So I contend that 'mass chaos' is not accurate at all.
Sometimes I feel sorry for you, Mr. Markle. The world you live in is much, much different than the world the rest of us live in. Of course, you have been a pissed off old bigot for five years now, with three more years of being pissed off to go. Not to mention, Hilllary is going to be the next President. We all know you hate blacks, Mr. Markle, how are you going to cope with a woman President?
Most old bigot are chauvinists, also.
Sucks to be an ignorant, racist, old bigot like yourself, does it not?
Thanks.
