When one part of the health care ecosystem is tampered with, the effects are felt in varying degrees throughout the provider community. It is amazing how quickly bad legislation, namely the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, and subsequent regulations can chaotically dismantle and damage what had once been a cost-effective and humane segment of the health care delivery system. Such is the story of home care--a community in crisis.
当医疗保健生态系统的某一部分受到干扰时,整个医疗服务提供者群体都会在不同程度上感受到影响。令人惊讶的是,糟糕的立法,即1997年的《平衡预算法案》以及随后的法规,能如此迅速地混乱地拆解和破坏曾经是医疗服务提供系统中一个具有成本效益且人道的部分。家庭护理的情况就是如此——一个处于危机中的群体。
