The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) today released its audit analysis of the recently passed in the House replacement bill for Obamacare.  The news outlets have already jumped all over it and are pointing out everything that could potentially be negative about it.  It is not surprising that the “glass is half empty,” and I […]

Most Americans anxiously await the details of the “fix” passed Thursday by Congressional House Republicans for Obamacare.  While pretty much everyone knows Obamacare is failing because of unforeseen economic impact, few of us know the intimate details of the hows and whys for the failure.  It is no secret that President Obama’s signature legislation was

That’s a shocking question, no doubt — one which comes with no obvious answer.  That’s like asking your good friend in a crowd, “How long ago did you stop beating your wife?”  But, consider that there are those who THINK you are stupid, and me, and other Americans who live and work among us, are

March 5, 2016 I suffered a heart attack.  They said it was a mild one.  I said it was a heart attack.  It scared me to death, especially since I had lost about 80 pounds and had kept it off for 2 years.  My blood pressure was good as was my cholesterol.  I don’t drink

    First, let’s make one thing clear:  U.S. Healthcare is in great shape…period.  It is the finest on Earth.  There’s nothing wrong with Healthcare.  What’s wrong is in healthcare reimbursement issues and the fallout from those as they impact every level of healthcare.  I’ve been in Medical Reimbursement Management for 25 years and work
