GOP should spell out what other federal regulation they are ok with your hospital ignoring.

Like
CFR482.25 pharmacy directed by a registered pharmacist

Why pay all that money for a registered pharmacist, it's only drugs you're giving me.


CFR482.22 The medical staff must be composed of doctors of medicine or osteopathy and, in accordance with State law

Doctors are expensive. Why can't they hire any old person off the street to do that open heart surgery?

CFR482.23The hospital must have an organized nursing service that provides 24-hour nursing services. The nursing services must be furnished or supervised by a registered nurse.

24 hrs of nurses, I'm sick in bed what could happen at night?

CFR482.24 A medical record must be maintained for every individual evaluated or treated in the hospital.

Records what good are those, maybe they already took out one kidney, maybe they didn't. Lets open yah up and find out.

CFR482.26 The hospital must maintain, or have available, diagnostic radiologic services.

Did I give you one rad or a million, you know in all the confusion I lost count myself. You got ask yourself do you feel lucky.


CFR482.27 The hospital must ensure that all laboratory services provided to its patients are performed in a facility certified in accordance with part 493 of this chapter.

bah expensive calibrated lab equipment, we got a machine that goes bing.

CFR482.28 The hospital must have organized dietary services that are directed and staffed by adequate qualified personnel.

If sick people need food they'll just order out a pizza. right?

CFR482.41 The hospital must be constructed, arranged, and maintained to ensure the safety of the patient, and to provide facilities for diagnosis and treatment and for special hospital services appropriate to the needs of the community.

"maybe there's a 4th floor, maybe there isn't, let's ride the elevator to the top and find out."

CFR482.42 The hospital must provide a sanitary environment to avoid sources and transmission of infections and communicable diseases.

"Oh now you're all worried about transmitting infectious diseases"

and etc...
Seriously why only the birth control thing, what else are you ok with my hospital skipping out on Mr and Mrs. OH MY GOD DEATH PANELS?
