customer talk

Talk is cheap--it's easy to say that you're the best. Being the best requires commitment and hard work. Many "talk the talk"; but few "walk the walk."

Valley Health steps up commitment to mental health service with construction of new $20M facility in Winchester

https://www.dnronline.com/news/health/valley-health-braces-for-50m-loss-after-medicaid-cuts-become-law/article_f4e216e5-cd42-5900-b5eb-bf0751684cb9.html

Question: How does VH intend to pay for this project given their projected $50 million loss?

short answer: on the backs of their customers with help from Medicare

It's simple. VH raises prices and Medicare helps out by reducing payments to its customers.

VOILA!!!
