Not Enough Money to DiSH Out
One problem with ambitious public plans to provide insurance for everyone is that eventually you run out of money–and then somebody squeals.
Seven hospitals in Massachusetts have sued the state for failing to give them enough money. The seven community hospitals receive “DSH” payments, meant to reimburse hospitals that treat a disproportionate share of patients in government programs.
The hospitals receive somewhere from 50% to 71% of their costs for treating Medicaid patients.
