On the front page of our paper today one of the hospitals is going to have some layoffs. It doesn't say in which dept but they interviewed one man and he's from IT and said others in that dept had been laid off. The same hospital has just opened another hospital on the other side of town that's running about 50% full now. But the reimbursement is low and slow. All governement insurance is slow. My husband is retired USAF so we have that insurance and it takes forever to pay and we have a supplement because of the low payment. My GYN quit taking Tri-care because it is so slow to pay so I pay cash upfront and let them pay me but everyone can't pay upfront.
