NCAMES Gives Dems a Heads-Up on ‘Health Care Disaster’

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — During the run-up to the 2010 Democratic
National Convention, the North Carolina state association has
invited party leaders to visit local HME companies to see
first-hand “the devastating effects” of competitive bidding.

“Charlotte is the center of a healthcare disaster,” said Marcia
Ladd, president of the NCAMES Board of Directors. Ladd said
association members hope to host Democrats to explain how the
program “is forcing them into service contraction, ‘suicide
bidding’ to try to keep their patients under their care and other
job-killing business decisions just to try to keep their doors
open.”
