Yes, that reimbursement setup is a major flaw in how we pay for healthcare that contributes to why the US pays more per capita for healthcare without equally excellent outcomes. It’s also why primary care is poorly paid compared to procedure-oriented subspecialties.

Sadly in the US this simply drives the belief that we should open everything, rather than the more sensible approach of not running healthcare for profit. Prove me wrong America. Please.

With hospitals barely surviving before this, it is cause for concern. Especially in a state where a large majority of healthcare is in the rural setting. If things do not change, I do not see how rural facilities and clinics will survive which will overload all other facilities.

Not expanding medicaid (coughcoughTexas) has undoubtedly hurt reimbursement for smaller hospitals, pushing some into closure. The healthcare system is not perfect, but it's also greatly hobbled by the mechanisms we choose to pay/approve care (prior authlolols)

It's true and it's atrocious. But we have done so much with so little for so long. It's come to bite us in the ass. Greed.

It is almost as if Bernie and AoC might have a point about a state healthcare system. Like they do in the rest of the developed world. You Americans are crazy!
