Obamacare Ends Construction of Doctor-Owned Hospitals
This little-noticed but particularly egregious aspect of Obamacare is, by all accounts, a concession to the powerful American Hospital Association (AHA), a supporter of Obamacare, which prefers to have its member hospitals operate without competition from hospitals owned by doctors. Dr. Michael Russell, president of Physician Hospitals of America, which has filed suit to try to stop this selective building-ban from going into effect, says, “There are so many regulations [in Obamacare] and they are so onerous and intrusive that we believe that the section [Section 6001] was deliberately designed so no physician owned hospital could successfully comply.”
Artz writes, “According to Russell, the AHA, along with Sen. [Max] Baucus (D-MT) and Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA), are responsible for the language in Section 6001.” But the responsibility for all aspects of the overhaul primarily lies with outgoing-House speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate majority leader Harry Reid, and, particularly, Obamacare’s principal champion, President Barack Obama.

The list just grows of the idiotic rules in Obamacare. It’s a damn good thing “they” passed the bill so we could find out what the hell was in it. Who in the hell is gonna save us from the government? Of course the revolution will be over before Boulder figures out it started.
The local Newspaper totally ignored the Tea Party for months, sorta like an ostrich that sticks its head in the sand. Of course they can get away with it as they know their audience, gotta give them credit for that.
