@bluesfolio @lynssss3125 Hospital admissions are billed based on DRGs. Whether we spend $10 or $10,000 on medications during an inpatient admission, we only get what the DRG reimbursement is set at.

Unless you serve primarily Medicare/Medicaid patients and your hospital loses money on every single admission. We charge whatever we want, doesn’t mean we’ll actually get anything. Our safety net hospital is fighting to keep its doors open because others take advantage.

Want another reason why healthcare costs are insane ? Hospitals will not only charge a facility fee and other random costs BUT ALSO , if they believe the insurance company is willing to pay MORE THAN WHAT WAS ON THE PATIENT BILL, THEY WILL INCREASE THE BILL to the insurance

@MFJones1618 I fully agree with you; that’s the primary issue I tried to highlight. If we can’t cover costs [bc of minimal/no reimbursement & other factors], then we can’t operate. Existing in a detrimental financial crisis means we’re at risk of closing our doors, no matter our mission.

Note: these are my opinions & I am NOT speaking on behalf of my organization I didn’t disagree with you, I just don’t think it applies across the board . A safety net hospital is not out for profit; we care for all regardless of ability to pay. Zero reimbursement is also a factor

For any hospital that says they lose money on Medicare/caid patients, I would LOVE to see the bill of materials and direct overhead attributed to the procedures you lose money on How much you pay for that hip implant, the anesthesia, disposables, the doctors/nurses etc, for

@mcuban I agree that can be at play, along with a ton of other little things [that add up to a significant amount] that could be done more effectively. Optimization in and of itself takes money, which can sometimes be part of the issue.

“‘Vaccines don’t cause autism’ has never been proven.” Correct, because that’s not how science works. If I say “sunning your perineum twice per day increases your IQ by 10 points” you would say, “prove it.” The burden of proof is on me, the person with a tanned perineum. If I responded by saying, “no, you prove to me perineal sunning DOESN’T increase your IQ by 10 points,” I am operating under the false assumption that my perineal sunning claim is fact without evidence to back it up. The burden of proof is on the person claiming that vaccines cause autism, not the other way around.

RFK Jr. just broke down to a college student that the claim “vaccines don’t cause autism” has never been proven. “The people who told you that have been lying to you.“ “In fact, only one vaccine has ever been studied, the MMR vaccine.” “The 20 doses of the seven vaccines that
