Kevin Drum: Phil Price points us today to an intriguing chart from the Department of Health and Human Services. It shows readmission rates within 30 days of a hospital stay for Medicare patients—including both "official" readmissions and short-term "observations"—and it's pretty stunning. When Obamacare passed, readmission rates started to fall dramatically almost instantly. They fell most sharply for a subset of conditions specifically targeted by Obamacare, and by a smaller amount for other conditions.I sure do. he hospital re-admits them under a different disease, or finds new patients with original diseases to replace them. Hospitals keep the beds at maximum capacity, like a hotel.
What about capital expansion for Obamacare?
Here is the latest report. Since Obamacare construction has increased, and stabilized to 1/3 of he hospital budget. The Obamacare system offers plenty of opportunity to keep all her new facilities a maximum capacity. Its a spiral.
