Greg Medicare payments in the times of labour for nursing homes was I stated. The formula the then Government (labour) used was a bad formula. See 1 patient at nursing home and you get paid for 1 patient. See 2 or more patients and the fee you got per patient got smaller & smaller. At least now the formula pays a housecall rate for 1st patient seen. For 2nd & subsequent patients seen at nursing home, you get the equivakent as if seen at your rooms. Surely that is better than the old formula ? Did you like interest rates at 17% ?? Hands up who liked the interest rate at 17%+
