Will Obama’s health care plan include hospitals prohibiting patient dumping?
FROM the OFFICE of THE INSPECTOR GENERAL:
HERE is the WEBSITE ADDRESS SO YOU CAN SEE ITS LEGITIMATE:

The University of Chicago Hospitals (UCH), Illinois, agreed to pay $35,000 to resolve its liability for CMPs under the patient dumping statute. The OIG alleged that the hospital failed to accept an appropriate transfer of a 61-year-old male who presented to another emergency department with a complaint of flank pain. UCH had specialized capabilities not available at the transferring hospital and allegedly refused to accept transfer after learning that the patient did not have insurance. UCH then later agreed to accept transfer of the patient only if he provided proof of funds in a bank account. The patient was transferred to another hospital where he died.
I sure HOPE that SENATOR OBAMA addresses this issue IF he becomes our President because he did NOTHING about it while Sen.
Yes this IS the HOSPITAL that over-charged the uninsured and it is ALSO where Michelle Obama sits on the board her salary is now 317,000 a year.
DOES CLINTON own the OFFICE of the INSPECTOR GENERAL? CAN’T you see that OTHER BARRACK SUPPORTERS GAVE GOOD RESPONSES, mud-slinging makes YOU look bad, this is NEWS, it is LEGITIMATE, and it is IMPORTANT including to the Obama Supporters.
Rotor he was turned away because of NO insurance, not because of bed or equipment, look again he was a TRANSFER patient, they NEEDED specialized equipment that Chicago had! Keep in the context. I am glad I am getting mostly adult responses, this is NOT a bash against Obama, but it is about HOW much can you really BEAT the system?
