What if you were to hire a glass company to replace a broken windshield in your car, and while completing the repair, they accidentally broke off your rear view mirror. Would you expect them to pay for that mistake? Or would you offer to pay for it? In the past, we the taxpayers have been paying Medicare payments to hospitals and physicians who have made serious errors that have led to adverse events, increasing costs, and resulting poor patient outcomes. Congress and others feel that this is unfair and have enacted legislation to stop paying for these types of errors or preventable events. Do you think this is fair? Can these conditions always be prevented?
