City Council Minutes of 8/4/2409 knows, and he was chief financial officer of three hospitals in the Cleveland area and spent 40- some years in health care, are not taking any more Medicare patients because they are not getting reimbursed for what they feel they should be getting reimbursed. This is going to compound that problem. As Mr. Lambert stated, this has not been ironed out yet, so he doesn't understand how we can be supportive of legislation we haven't seen in its final form. He would encourage Council to defer any action on this until a f nal bill is available. It is a thousand pages, and it's not exciting reading. 4) Joe Luzar, 3847 Root Road. He agrees with Mrs. Copfer and Mr. Pangrac. He is out of a job right now because of our President and does not have health care. He has a friend who married a woman from Canada. They live about an hour north of Buffalo, and they come to the USA when they need to go to the doctor. In his opinion, government has no business telling doctors what to do and how to run hospitals.
