Discussion board week # 14

There are so many interesting things happening in health care.  So many noteworthy changes to the industry are either related to financial issues or motivated by improving financial performance.

This week you will have the opportunity to explore how many of the aspects of health services finance that we have explored this semester come together with current industry trends.

Please find a current events (within the past year) news article from a reputable news source (MSN, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, etc) that discusses any aspect of health services finance.  For your original post, please provide a 150+ word summary of your article.  Be sure that you demonstrate your understanding of the financial concepts mentioned in the article and be prepared to respond to any questions posed by your classmates.  In addition, you must be sure that your article has not already been used by a classmate before you post your original post.
