spin_dry Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I had lunch with a friend in hospital finance yesterday. The cost of delivery of services was fairly stable at a 1.5% inflation rate through the last 6 years. It’s 6% this year. He indicated that this is about average for all healthcare orgs across America. Stay healthy folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted June 10, 2018 Gold Member Share Posted June 10, 2018 Don’t we still have ACA??? Repubs weren’t able to get it repealed the last I knew. So any increases are happening under the shit health care the democrats and the last administration gave us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revkevsdi Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Since we are allowed to guess without any facts to back it up. I would guess prices are going up because the pool is getting smaller. When Trump allowed people to bail without providing an alternative, then the healthy people who can get cheaper insurance leave the plan.

You jumped in acting like you had some facts and knowledge. I don’t know why it’s gone up so quickly. That really wasn’t part of the conversation. It’s a good topic to know more about. Is it regional more widespread? If it’s an artifact from the ACA then I’d like to know how so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Read and enjoy. Eventually costs were going to increase and the people designing it KNEW it would go up they just hoped the short term would make people forget and blame it elsewhere. https://ldi.upenn.edu/brief/effects-aca-health-care-cost-containment Edited June 11, 2018 by racer254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Could of gotten a lot of insight on this last night . Attended a wedding where most everyone was a medical professional of some sort. I would say many factors would contribute to the rise. Just like many fields, the medical industry is booming and everyone is looking for qualified, hard working people. If you’re good st your job , you are in high demand. A lot of moving around is going on right now. My daughter has been a nurse for two years and she has already moved three times for pay increases. The former CEO of my wife’s hospital offered her a job last night if she would be willing to go to Indiana 3 days a week, almost 4 times what she is making now. They can’t find anybody to work.

Well, that was just one thing that was said before ACA went into effect. There was going to be a shortage of staff when you add 15 million people extra that get coverage.
