Ok. Is this incorrect, quoted above in red?
"In New Jersey, every hospital but one will lose money this year. So will a majority of hospitals in 28 other states, including California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas, as well as the District of Columbia, according to a Kaiser Health News analysis of the penalties."
Also: In your hospital administration experience, are the added government-mandated rules conducive to patient care and wellness, or a hindrance?
