So if Mayo is becoming more selective about its patients, perhaps the state of Minnesota, and any governmental/public body needs to be more selective about funding Destination Medical with public dollars. It cuts both ways.

which, one can assume it’s merely a practice that suggests, has been in place but never been publically admitted as standard policy…so what else is new?
Watch closely in the near future as other MN hospitals follow suit and the quality of care goes down…as Trump care establishes itself as standard policy?
The only certainty here is the salaries of physicians and administration take care of their own I suppose?

Mayo growth money comes from government and grateful patients.
The state and federal government have been very good to Mayo Clinic. Quite a way to show appreciate – provide less timely care to Medicare and Medicaid patients, who tend to be sicker, being older and poorer. As for grateful patients, how many of them are Medicare patients who leave money in the their will. Of course, talk to Trump as Noseworthy did, you believe that the winner deserve first class, and everyone can settle for less, you make this kind of boneheaded decision, do the right thing – drop the policy and resign – before Mayo’s reptutation is ruined.
