Heh, discussion at this week's historical society board meeting centered around not wanting to encourage ghost stories about the property. My tour - MojaveMeg Jul 1, 16:26 4

Something I didn't know: Jamie from Real World: San Diego has become a moderately successful actress. -- nm - Dano Jul 1, 16:07 10
- How did I forget this? -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 1, 16:58
- How was she on Real World? - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 1, 16:31 2
  - I don't really recall much about her which likely means she was normal and thus did not get much air time. -- nm - Dano Jul 1, 16:55 1

One thing about ambulance charges, some localities will charge for people who live outside their jurisdiction, but not for locals. - Ender Jul 1, 14:07 23

  - Every emergency room doctor will love if EMTALA will be repealed.It is pretty crappy in terms of the govt requiring you to do something - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 14:16 21
    - yeah, telling them they can't let people who can't pay die. what's up with that? -- nm - mafic Jul 1, 14:43 4
      - And that would be why the law exists. -- nm - the liioulu with Jul 1, 14:45
      - I never said people should be denied care. But if the govt is going to require that no one is turned away, they should pay for that. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 14:45 2
        
        I happen to agree with you here, but for that to work it requires a fundamental change in your health care system, since it's effectively government - mafic Jul 1, 14:49 1
        
        Yes, obamacare does do this. So that is good. The question is how much reimbursement will be, because if everyone lowers their reimbursement it will - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 14:55
    - [deleted] 15
      - hmm.. they do? I never heard of it. From my understanding EMTALA means ERs must see everyone, regardless of payment. The patient just comes "self-pay" - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 14:22 14
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        It is an "unfunded mandate", which I interpret as something hospitals must do but don't get any funding for it. -- (link) - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 14:34 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        According to a May 2003 American Medical Association study, emergency physicians on average provide $138,300 of EMTALA-related charity care each year, - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 14:36
        
        I seriously haven't heard of it. Source please. I will discuss it with the ER docs. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 14:32
        
        EMTALA is, indeed, the central factor in the �free-rider� phenomenon. The government forces hospitals to care for these individuals, without financial - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 14:29 8
        
        But how much does a law suit incurred as a result of turning away a patient cost? - the liioulu with Jul 1, 14:41 7
        
        To have a malpractice suit you need to prove 4 things: One of them is having a responsibility to take care of that patient. If the patient is never - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 14:44 6
        
        Given some of the #'s we've seen here recently...maybe hospitals shouldn't let insurance companies off the hook so cheaply then - Will Hunting Jul 1, 15:15 2
        
        The true cost of things and how all that is negotiated has always interested me. However, those details are never revealed. Maybe as I climb the ranks - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 15:19 1
        
        Something I found out about that from my accident: Geico paid less than $100 for my ER visit, yet Blue Cross' negotiated fee was over $800. - CovingtonCat Jul 1, 15:34
        
        It exists because too many people dies because they were turned away from ERs because they couldn't pay. - the liioulu with Jul 1, 14:49 2
        
        I never said people should be turned away. But if the govt makes a law, they should at least fund it. I have no clue how things were before the law - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 14:52 1
        
        Then do some research. -- nm - the liioulu with Jul 1, 14:55
