Obammacare is causing Hospitals to close, how does this help the poor

The rural community of Sayre, Oklahoma, was left without a major health care facility last month when the local Sayre Memorial Hospital shut down in the middle of a Monday afternoon.
Sayre is among the latest in a string of rural hospitals ending operations, citing the continuing fiscal challenges of the current hospital environment. At least 68 rural hospitals, or about 4 percent of all rural hospitals in the United States, have closed since 2010, according to the Sheps Center for Health Services Research at the University of North Carolina. Four closed in the first two months of 2016 alone.
The causes of this decline in the availability of rural health facilities are legion, but at the root of the problem is the crushing weight of regulation through the Affordable Care Act. The sum total of mandated automation, reporting requirements, shrinking reimbursements and increasing penalties for noncompliance with other mandates has left rural hospitals out in the cold.

Actually, hospitals have been closing their doors due to insolvency for decades ever since EMTALA was passed in the 80s. Another law the feds passed to "help" people which has had the opposite effect.

I hate the PPACA, but it does very little to directly affect hospitals.

I know doctors who treat patients then throw the claim to get paid in the trash, it cost them more to submit the claim than government Medicaid and Medicare pays them.

Liberals demonize doctors as the greedy rich boogieman, then pass regulations lowering what doctors can earn, to the point now that its not even worth submitting the claim to government to get paid.

It was a joke, dude. Snowflakes say that about everything. You are a racist because you are pointing out an Obamacare flaw.

Snowflake logic.

The fact is that the new Obammacare system is putting hospitals out of business and Americans out of work, this has not been happening for 30 years, the current trend began with Obummacare. Your denial means nothing

That's usually the claim of socialists right up until it all collapses. They should have just taken the government money. That would have put the inevitable off for a year or two. Never mind the base of the operation is failing, let's just patch that up with some government largess.

Well, when the GOP ends Medicaid, I suppose those hospitals can open back up and just serve the well-off.
