Here comes Obamacare

Like it or not, Obamacare is here, and our healthcare leaders say they are doing their best to deal with that.

“It’s the law of the land,” said Jon Ness, CEO of Kootenai Health. “This is a federal law that has been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States, and if we don’t participate, there will be penalties.”

And devastating penalties at that, he added.

Everything is going to change. Everything. Jeff Selle, Cda Press Full story. ]
