No, I don't think the Government will see it as patient dumping. Quite the opposite, the UCMC program has been showing excellent results, while REMAINING controversial. Perhaps it is not a perfect program? What can we do to formulate more specific guidelines that could achieve similiar productive results in other area's? I think the issue deserves a close look. I REMAIN concerned that especially at "for profit" hospitals and clinics this program could easily be abused and come even closer, or cross the line, into real patient dumping. I acknowledge the risk.

I think in the case of UCMC "educate" is a good word choice. They are, after all, a teaching hospital, if not them, who? If not now, when?
