GOP Mayor fights his own party to keep hospital access for the poor

Small Town Mayor Pleads With Washington to Save Rural Hospitals
Rural health leaders planning to grab attention of Congress through March to Washington. (They will march 283 miles. One mile for every hospital in danger of closing.)

“Some people don’t care that people die,” he said. (You know he's talking about the "let them die" Republican Party.)

This story is becoming familiar for rural hospitals across the country. According to the American Hospital Association, more than a third of the nation’s 5,700 hospitals are in rural areas. The National Rural Health Association says the nation is in a "rural health crisis," estimating that 470 rural hospitals have closed during the past 25 years. Forty-seven of them closed during the last five years, and 283 more are in danger of closing soon, according to the association.

O’Neal also noted that the lack of Medicaid expansion in the state had hurt the hospital. Currently 29 states and the District of Columbia are expanding Medicaid, a provision of the Affordable Care Act that the Supreme Court made optional for states. Half a million previously uninsured North Carolinians would be covered if the state legislature and governor were to accept the funds from the federal government.

How many more Republicans will finally realize their party builds nothing and leaves nasty scars every where it has influence?

Come on Staph. We all know your opinion on helping poor people. But normal people don't feel that way. "Let them die" wasn't supposed to be a real policy. Then your kind turned it into one. Because you liked what you heard.

Because the GOP thinks of the rural poor as dogs. Which is strange since nearly all the white rural poor are Republican.

I don't remember him saying that because that's not what he said. He said something like this:

Starting at 1:40: You didn't get here solely on your own power.



Ooh, that gotta hurt.
