Foretelling....9/20

With the comments that came from Essent, I had to go back and see if their predictions had come true in the past. Yep, another prediction from the big guy:

To date, Essent has acquired Crossroads Hospital in Wentzville, Mo., formerly known as Doctors' Hospital, and Merrimack Valley Hospital in Haverhill, Mass., which was previously called Hale Hosptial. Those hitherto financially failing institutions, Mr. Connery estimates, should turn a profit of at least 12 to 15 percent within two years.

Well, we know how Crossroads did, so how is MVH doing? -$87,205, per American Hospital Directory.

Don't you just hate that?

They have added a little feature to the site, an estimate of how the IPPS changes will affect the reimbursement percentage. MVH goes from 2.8 to -1.1%.

Whose whatsis is puckering?
