One year after the stimulus law was signed, hospitals and doctors have yet to see much of the health IT cash it holds for them. Now they're worried the rules attached to the funds will keep the money out of reach. And states are prepaling to adapt without the Medicaid boost the law gave them. "It's drastic times", says Craig Becker, left, of the Tennessee Hospital Association, who is lobbying for a hospital revenue tax to help fill the gap.
刺激法案签署一年后,医院和医生尚未看到其中为他们预留的大量医疗信息技术资金。现在他们担心与这些资金相关的规定会让这笔钱遥不可及。而且各州正准备在没有该法案给予的医疗补助增加的情况下进行调整。田纳西医院协会的克雷格·贝克尔(左)说:“这是非常时期”,他正在游说征收医院收入税以帮助填补缺口。
