Hospital

Okay, this is a hilarious story about how health care needs more "disruptive" CEOs.  How about just get some competent ones, especially on the provider side.  I thought disruptive wasn't good, at least for kids in the class room.  Just more nonsense reflecting both the "cult of the CEO" and the supposed value of disruption.  Most businesses that try to do things in a radically different way disrupt things all right, just with bad results.

Lets all share a moment of silence to honor hospitals, which, according to the American Hospital Association, saw uncompensated care costs rise to $38.3 billion in 2016, up about 8% from 2015, but still just a fraction of the excessive profits garnered by health systems from overpricing and the excessive costs they incur due to overpaying management.

Let's all feel sorry for hospitals; according to a survey from The Advisory Board denials of claims by payers are increasing and hospitals are losing appeals more often, resulting in $3.5 million less annual revenue for the median-sized hospital.
