Hospital chain, UnitedHealth in standoff over costs, rules | StarTribune.com

Hospital chain, UnitedHealth in standoff over costs, rules | StarTribune.com"Minnetonka-based UnitedHealthcare says the proposed rule is meant to improve the quality of care and cut costs by allowing insurance case managers to jump in right away. The hospitals say that having their reimbursement cut in half is too much to pay for a clerical error, and that the drain on their revenues would ultimately hurt their patients."
It is not OK to even hint that government is invovled in health care payment decisions but not enough people seem to care that a for profit company paying their CEO over 15 million can start to dictate what hospitals and doctors and patients can and can not do. Keep it up Unidted Health Care -- maybe enough people will get fed up and we can actually overcome all that money you throw at our elected officials.
