On the recordNovember 20, 2003
I would like to pursue one more issue regarding reimbursement rates and that is in regard to our hospitals, and even more specifically rural hospitals because it has become apparent to me that we do have a significant issue with the tens of thousands of usually small, more rural hospitals around this great land. And I believe in the gentleman's opening comments he made reference to an issue I am also aware of, and that is from the patient's side how Medicare up to now has treated extended hospital stays. I would like the gentleman to address that greater issue of hospitals, specifically rural hospitals, and then extended stay for patients and how Medicare does or does not take care of them currently and what this legislation would provide.
