Federal budget cuts are quite likely for programs like Medicare and Medicaid, putting the squeeze on health care providers (acute, chronic and rehabilitative health care). The only alternative providers will have to rationing services is through operational savings. In this respect, the guaranteed DEL Clean Ozone Laundry Program is one of the few bright spots for providers.

The Cuts are Coming

Unless you’ve been living alone in the outback, you know that Washington DC is awash in red ink and looking for ways to mop it up. Almost everything is on the chopping block and that even includes the sacred Medicare program, along with its less popular shadow, Medicaid. In fact, many states have already cut their versions of Medicaid to meet balanced budget requirements.

We certainly agree that government needs to live within its budget! But the problem with cutting something like these programs is that the cuts fall on elderly and disabled people who don’t have alternative means. Furthermore, the fact is that these huge health care programs employ thousands and thousands of people nationwide. More unemployment is not what we need right now.

Health care providers are caught in this vise, between the certain needs of the people they serve and the absolute reality of the funding cuts. Something has to give. Providers can either cut people from services (and often they have state or federal mandates that make this almost impossible) or they have to find ways to reduce the costs of care in order to keep serving their patients.

DEL Ozone Laundry Savings are REAL

The DEL Clean Ozone Laundry Program has been tested in real world health care settings, and its ability to generate substantial savings is proven. DEL Clean laundry outcomes also meet the rigorous health and safety regulatory standards that face the health care industry.

The risk to providers is minimal. With DEL’s unique guarantee provision, there is no reason to put off trying DEL’s state-of-the-art ozone disinfection systems for on premise laundries.
