Former Congressman Hyde Awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom While Receiving Medical Rehabilitation at Marianjoy
Date:11/5/2007

WHEATON, Ill., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former Congressman Henry J. Hyde was among eight people who today received the nation's top civilian honor -- the Presidential Medal of Freedom. President Bush said that the United States is "a better country" because of Mr. Hyde's 32 years of public service.

However, it exemplifies a serious threat to rehabilitation hospitals that are now forced to use criteria specified by the 75% Rule to determine an individual patient's admission eligibility rather than the actual medical condition of the patient," said Yosko. "Well over 4,000 of the rehab beds in the United States have already been eliminated, and more will certainly be gone in the near future. We have been unable to admit certain patients whose diagnoses fall outside of the rule's parameters because it requires that 75% of Medicare and non-Medicare patients fall within a list of 13 conditions, leaving many individuals unable to access the rehabilitation services they can only receive in an inpatient acute rehabilitation facility such as Marianjoy."

Mr. Hyde is one of more than a half million individuals who receive medical rehabilitation annually at inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. To comply with the 75% Rule, hospitals must often
