Hospitals to pay $28M over false spinal treatment claims

The U.S. Justice Department says 32 hospitals in 15 states have agreed to pay $28 million to settle allegations they admitted patients for certain procedures that could have been done on an outpatient basis, resulting in higher Medicare bills.

Wait.  I thought ObamaCare was supposed to prevent this sort of practice.  You know, doctors cutting off feet so they can make another boat payment.  That kind of thing.
