We should just give all of our money to the federal government and then they can take care of us. Provide our food, housing, health care, transportation and maybe a little pocket change on Saturday night. Wouldn't it be glorious if we didn't have to worry about this stuff! Just let the government provide us the tit to suckle from.
I work in a hospital and we suffered a loss after the enacting of Obamacare. Smaller hospitals in the area either went out of business or were subsidized/taken over by larger facilities. This was because the loss of those rural smaller hospitals would overload those still open. Thanks Democrats!
as Obama said just take a pill, no need to go to the hospital
I suppose you think this is President Trump's fault, and not the creator of this boondoggle, Barack Obama and the Democrap Party?
Actually the closing of hospitals would have been much worse had it not been for Obamacare. If Trump continues on course repealing the ACA, hospital closures will soar!

The nation’s hospital industry warned President-elect Donald Trump and congressional leaders on Tuesday that repealing the Affordable Care Act could cost hospitals $165 billion by the middle of the next decade and trigger “an unprecedented public health crisis.”
The two main trade groups for U.S. hospitals dispatched a letter to the incoming president and Capitol Hill’s top four leaders, saying that the government should help hospitals avoid massive financial losses if the law is rescinded in a way that causes a surge of uninsured patients.
What once was the best hospital in the area just announced that they are firing nurses, many that have worked there a long time to bring on the temp traveling nurses.
The other local hospital did this a good while ago and their care is lousy. Yes this is all a single example but I imagine it's something many can relate to.
It's getting less and less about health care and all about Wall Street returns.
The right of the .01% to make more shall not be impinged.

The small town hospital is going the way of the small town car dealer. For good service, people are willing to drive.
A hospital involves a need, mostly unplannable. A car dealer involves a want nearly always can be fit into a plan.

lemme 'splain it for ya. Farmers are rural things, often waaaaaay out in the sticks. Farmers are not immune to needing a hospital which is decreasingly available. Dead farmers don't grow food.
