you are referred to as a "FUNDING STREAM"
Loved Ones…. within the American health care delivery system every patient is referred to as an “FUNDING STREAM” or in layman terms….

you are not a person, you are not a suffering ill individual…. you are the source of a stream of funding into the health care delivery system….

some people are big streams (they stay a long time and gets lots of pain meds and therapy)…and there are small streams (they are in rooms with 4 to 6 beds and no Therapy with little of no pain meds) and then there a those Americans who have no stream of funding for the H.C.A. to harvest….(they just die in the street) a most economical use of our health care within United States Medical establishment.

So loved One...use caution with your health insurer, volunteer at the SNF or the Sub acute care facility Mom or Dad are presently housed in, do not trust g.w. bush or the big dick….as they are all on the receiving end of the “Funding Stream

Dr. Frist,,,,call on line 3..its the SEC they want you
Loved Ones….American health care is a fraud ….a fraud perpetuated on all of us….Take Bill Frist for example ….the powerful Washington Republican power broker……
Oh yes this I believe….he is just a hard working surgen……that is all he is…he only wants the best for you and I…of course he does …why else would he be doing what he is doing?

The fraud


"As a heart and lung transplant surgeon, my life has been dedicated to improving individuals’ lives through advances in health care. As a United States Senator, I am able to take the principles I learned as a physician– such as ‘First, do no harm’ and that the foremost concern is the health of one’s patient– and apply them to my work on health care reform. While I continue to treat patients on an individual basis, I now have the privilege of being able to treat the collective health of the nation." - Senator William H. Frist, M.D.


The truth
SEC Subpoenas the Republican power boy....Billy Frist
The Securities and Exchange Commission has stepped up its investigation of Bill Frist, issuing a subpoena for all personal documents relating to the sale of his stock in

HCA, the health care company founded by his family.

The formal request for documents usually presages an acceleration of a federal probe. In Frist's case, regulators had to proceed with caution due to his status in Congress and their mutual desire to avoid triggering constitutional objections to the release of documents. The disclosure of the subpoena comes as Democrats blasted Frist anew for his financial and personal ties to Hospital Corporation of America, a Nashville chain founded in 1968 by his father and his brother, Thomas Frist Jr. Critics yesterday seized on a report that Frist held a substantial amount of his family's hospital stock outside of blind trusts between 1998 and 2002 -- a time when he asserted he did not know how much of the stock he owned.
Frist's stock sale came just days before the company's stock dropped in value dramatically.

The SEC is moving in the right direction by subpoenaing Frist's documents, but it's time for Frist to come clean about exactly what he knew and when he knew it.

Loved ones how can they insinuate Dr. Frist is anything but a straight up guy….hey g.w. and big dick will vouch for him….and I trust everyword uttered out of george and big dicks mouths….don’t you….if you do not…you must be antiamerican and a terrorist…..I wonder of Bill Frist has Kaiser or Secure Horizons…?

Reuters
HCA sees earnings below estimates
Thursday October 13, 11:41 am ET
By Julie Steenhuysen


CHICAGO (Reuters) - Hospital operator HCA Inc. (NYSE:HCA - News) on Thursday forecast earnings that would fall below analysts' expectations and said it expects $33 million in third-quarter costs related to Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.

HCA, the nation's largest hospital operator, also said it would buy back about 11 percent of its shares in a modified Dutch auction tender offer at a price of between $43 and $50 a share as it moves to bolster shareholder value.

The company said it expects to report earnings for the third quarter of 2005 ranging from about 61 cents per share to 63 cents per share, including an estimated adverse financial impact from the storms of about 5 cents per share.

But the company said third-quarter results are also expected to include a tax benefit of about $22 million, or 5 cents per share, from the repatriation of foreign earnings.

Analysts on average had expected earnings of 65 cents a share, according to Reuters Estimates.

HCA forecast 2006 results in a range of $3.25 per share to $3.45 per share, well below the analysts' average estimate of $3.53 per share, according to Reuters Estimates.

Shares of HCA rose 69 cents, or 1.41 percent, to $47.35 in morning trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

FTN Midwest Securities analyst Rob Eich said shares traded higher on the share buyback program and on relief that the news was not as bad as some investors had expected.

"I think investors expected an earnings shortfall in the third quarter. The good news is the shortfall isn't larger than it is," he said.

For the third quarter, HCA expects to report revenue of about $6 billion. Same-facility revenue rose about 4.6 percent in the quarter, but same-facility admissions fell about 0.7 percent as HCA felt the impact of the hurricanes.

HCA said it expects its provision for doubtful accounts -- or unpaid patient bills that are unlikely to be collected -- to be about $618 million in the third quarter, or 10.3 percent of revenue, compared with $688 million, or 11.9 percent of revenue a year earlier.

On a same-facility basis, uninsured admissions in the quarter rose about 15 percent and emergency room visits rose about 14 percent compared with a year earlier. Uninsured emergency room visits rose to 21.5 percent of total same-facility emergency room visits in the quarter, up from 19.7 percent in the same period last year.

HCA said its full-year 2005 earnings should range from $3.10 per share to $3.20 per share, excluding a number of items, including the impact of the $2.5 billion share repurchase program. Analysts on average have expected earnings of $3.11, according to Reuters Estimates.

In a separate statement, the Nashville, Tennessee-based company announced a $2.5 billion share repurchase program in the form of a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer.

HCA said it will buy back up to 50 million of its 452.7 million outstanding common shares at a single price of no more than $50 each and no less than $43. It will finance the buyback with about $500 million in cash and borrowings of about $1 billion from an existing revolving credit facility. It has also secured a commitment for a short-term loan facility of $1 billion. The offer starts October 14 and expires November 14 unless extended.

sad...very sad
Loved Ones…yesterday I walked away from another health care position within a Sub Acute Care Facility ….

the reason …I refuse to provide speech and language services so that a large corporation (possibly the largest in the United States) can get richer and stronger while abusing rehab professionals and their patients with intimidation and subtle threats….the situation is this….

I get paid $43/hr and they bill $326/hr for my services…

they will not provide me with a room (required for effective communication therapy), they are only concerned about getting busted for fraud and squeezing dinero out of any dying Americans (only patients with money/insurance) one hospital bed at a time.

How much will you (or your mom or dad) end up paying in the last days/weeks/months of this present incarnation to the giant hospital system….? Probably about all you have….and when the money is gone the story ends...

The rehab staff (mostly ladies..OT’s, PT’s and Speech Pathologists are at least 99% motivated healers while the richest of health care administrators are capitalists perched on the branch like vultures…proud of their ability to make an enormous profit at the expense of pain and misery…your pain and misery…the same entities who support the war, support g.w.bush and in fact comprise the major beneficiaries of the AMERICAN STYLE health care delivery carnivore circus.

The better you are at XXXXX dying people the higher up the health care delivery system food chain you go…..The drug companies and major hospital chains are under the Republican umbrella…the umbrella of unlimited greed…..true greed

Few if any health care professionals are privy to the REAL BILLING going on in secret…if they knew …..things would be different….the rehab staff is used today as the P.R. component of the biggest rip off in American history……a for the most part republican organized rip off….

Loved ones….next time you are in hospital/snf or a sub acute care facility do not go down the first hall….go to the back of the facility…go to the last rooms…the slightly hidden away locations and really see what your “health care dollar” is doing….Americans health care dollars are facilitating thousands of overweight republicans to enjoy another 18 holes after lunch while your mom dehydrates to death….

Who cares…. oh yes g.w. And the big dick really really care…. almost as much as Arnold…. they really really do care about you…they want to make sure the health care delivery system (they desire) is in place so the monies can come in….like any other good American capitalist corporation.

If you can XXXX the patient into oblivion just before they die no one will know….the patient will not be around to spread the news….
“Dead men tell no tales”…so the republicans think.

Loved ones…I petition that health care corporations, and the entities managing those delivery systems are enclosed with the White Light of the Holy Spirit…and that they learn all their lessons with the least amount of pain…. I petition and ask that in our Divine Parents Name.
