Obamacare closing Hospitals due to low Emergency Rooms Reimbursements


We all know that Primary Care Givers are not going to lose money by seeing Obamacare insured patients! So here’s what the Family Practice, Internal Medicine, and mid-Levels will do when you contact them with an off hours illness….They will send you to the Emergency Room. The hospital will now eat the loss.

Obamacare Could Cause Iowa Hospitals To Close Their Doors

BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff

Doctors at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics are worried that Obamacare will cause hospitals to close their doors.

Dr. Hans House, Board Member for the American College Emergency Physicians, told KGAN-IOW, that if patients call their family doctor with an acute problem, the family doctor will refer them to the ER, four out of five times.

A massive influx of patients at emergency rooms because of Obamacare could cause long wait times and possibly force hospitals to close.
