Summary
Jeff is very savy about the probems in healthcare except for the fact that there may not be time 6 to 18 months later where we may se a rebound. Its already been 18 months since fuel costs have skyrocketed and the providers that are service oriented are not going to recover due to the inability to pass on the cost of delivery to the end user. No one provider can continue to serve in an environment where cuts in reimbursements have been severe since 2006. Some providers in home care have averaged a 56% cut and then add on the fuel increase. No the real world does not look for a rebound in Mr Lutz time period. There must be a fix very soon or the amout of providers will dwindle and costs will again skyrocket. Time to look at placing money in a Health Savings account or a strong tin can because you are going to need it in the future to pay for your healthcare.
Analysis
Time to let those in the real world that time has run out for quick fixes.
