Massachusetts Sued Over Cost of Health Care - NYTimes.com

And this is the "Model" for America's Universal Health Care...be afraid....be VERY afraid.....

Massachusetts Sued Over Cost of Health Care - NYTimes.com:

BOSTON — A hospital that serves thousands of indigent Massachusetts residents sued the state on Wednesday, charging that its costly universal health care law is forcing the hospital to cover too much of the expense of caring for the poor.

The hospital, Boston Medical Center, faces a $38 million deficit for the fiscal year ending in September, its first loss in five years. The suit says the hospital will lose more than $100 million next year because the state has lowered Medicaid reimbursement rates and stopped paying Boston Medical “reasonable costs” for treating other poor patients."
