Until people understand that a hospital cannot operate financially with 85% of the revenue stream being Medicare's low and shrinking reimbursement rates that cannot pay the bills there, and that the amount seniors pay in premium for their supplemental coverage doesn't do it either, nothing will change there.

And then there is administration, that needs to be cleaned out from the top downward and start over. But they're not going to fire themselves.
