Derailed Health Care Reform Effort Will Not Mean Business as Usual for ARM Industry

Most health care industry analysts say that the health care reform bill passed by the U.S. Senate on Christmas Eve will lower bad debt and provide better identification and tracking of patients with bad debt.

So if health care reform is stalled or killed because Republican Scott Brown will soon occupy the Senate seat held for 46 years by Edward “Ted” Kennedy,  will it be business as usual for the ARM industry?

Probably not, says Kaulkin Ginsberg Analyst Michael Klozotsky. “Some in the ARM industry are probably breathing a sigh of relief right now at the thought that federal healthcare reform might fail.  It would be wise, I think, not to breathe too deep,” Klozotsky said.
