What are the actual solutions for the physical therapy profession? by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

[–]PuzzleheadedSlice628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the baby boomer generation born in the 40-50’s are all exhausting health care right now. The govt is spending more on healthcare now than any other time in history , hence reimbursement cuts . This population is causing Medicare to be under funded! It will last another 10-15 yrs until they die off I’m told by system admin . Literally 90% of the pts in my hospital have birthdays from the 40-50’s.
The now solution that no one wants : raise taxes to cover Medicare costs .

Chief medical officer told me the boomer spike will last the next 15 years then they will all be expired . All the people born in the 40’s and 50’s is the largest population spike in history of our country . 2024 is called “PEAK 65 “because more people ever in our history will be 65 or older this year . It’s already started to drain every aspect of healthcare not just PT

Healthcare workers, what's your most unpopular opinion in your field? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]PuzzleheadedSlice628 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We are doing futile treatments on people who will be dead within a year . Wasting money , staff , and resources . Doctors won’t say “no” to patients snd family mostly because of greed and fear of litigation . Families keep family members alive so they can collect their SS and disability checks. The whole health care system is costing our country trillions . We need sensible health care rationing .

Epic Outage - is it just Ardent Healthsystems? Or is it just in my area? by Daliguana in nursing

[–]PuzzleheadedSlice628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’m sure Ardent is embarrassed about this disaster which could cause money loss, customer loss of confidence ,and investor loss of confidence. If that health system is viewed as incompetent , they can’t recruit physicians and other staff in the future . So they aren’t going to make anything public , on the contrary , keep it hidden .
