In a guest editorial in The Bakersfield Californian, NFIB member Darrell Feil calls for greater competition in health care
“Although entrepreneurs are no strangers to challenges, the cost of health care has simply become a problem too big for even the most innovative to tackle alone,” argues NFIB California member Darrell Feil in a guest editorial in The Bakersfield Californian.
“As lawmakers look for ways to rein in costs and eliminate fraud and waste, they should prioritize ending hospitals’ use of ‘dishonest billing. Dishonest billing is when hospitals secretly reclassify a doctor’s office they own as a hospital-based setting. This seemingly minor billing nuance can increase the cost of care by as much as 300 percent.”
Feil, a former chairman of NFIB’s state leadership council, is owner of Bakersfield-based Abate-a-Weed.
