I posted this here because it will effect residencies around the country for the years to come, but mods, feel free to move this somewhere else -- I'm outside of posting in my home, Psychiatry 😛
Highlights:
Bushs budget is expected to call for $83 billion in cuts to hospitals with the remainder coming from other health care providers. The hospital cuts would include:
A $15 billion across-the-board reduction in hospital payments
A $25 billion reduction in payments to hospitals that serve a disproportionately large number of low-income patients
$23 billion less for training hospitals
$20 billion less for hospital construction and equipment.
Wow. Just wow. Discuss.
