Rural Hospitals Brace For the Apocolypse

Once the last of the last of the illegal aliens are launched out of our USA that will free up a LOT of $$$$$ to better the situation for all involved.

It will erase 100 billion in tax dollars paid by illegal immigrants. We lose money.

Blue states have to lower their tax rates... the feds can't do anything about that... states like California should stop giving healthcare to illegal aliens for free and deport them...
Sanctuary cities and states are costly for the people who live there...
There are other carve outs for hospitals as well...

Wrong on every count.

How about all the illegals in jails and in the schools, i hope we will still be able to serve them.

I'm amazed at all these slack jawed yokels cheering austerity for others. A real community spirit, fer shure.

They seem to think that making the country all white is somehow a win. They live in the 1950s, but the country was not all white then. It never has been.

They think that ging bc to those times will bring back prosperity, but they don't know how much the government invested in programs during that time, nor do they understand that the rest of the world was rebuilding out of the ruins created by WW2. We were the only industrialized country that still had the ability to manufacture things, and that's why things were so good. It is not that way now, and these idiots are cutting their throats.

Provider taxes are regulated by the federal government. Arizona, Michigan and Nevada are three swing states that will lose 7.5% of their medicaid funding as a result of the bill. Bye, Bye MAGA

Some states do have provider taxes to fund their medicaid programs... like in CA... who gives free healthcare to illegal aliens...

The democrat party is dying.... the republican party is now MAGA... a party for working class folks... so you may get your wish...

Rural hospitals brace for financial hits or even closure under Republicans' $1 trillion Medicaid cut

States and rural health advocacy groups are sounding the alarm that Congress’ slashing of Medicaid will devastate already financially fragile rural hospitals.

apnews.com

“Our budget is pretty heavily reliant on the Medicaid reimbursement, so if we do see a cut of that, it’ll be difficult to keep the doors open,” said Sherman, who works at Webster County Community Hospital in the small Nebraska town of Red Cloud just north of the Kansas border.

If those facilities close, many locals would see their five-minute trip to Webster County hospital turn into a nearly hour-long ride to the nearest hospital offering the same services.

“That’s a long way for an emergency,” Sherman said. “Some won’t make it.”

Private for-profit hospital systems like mine will do well as we get new patients. Many won't pay but some will. Most just won't be able to afford to get sick. Trillions for tax cuts, but we can't afford millions for the health of our aging/rural population. Thats where we're at. A real shame.

The first ones are already closing.

An hour prior, Community Hospital in McCook, Neb., announced its closure.

“Unfortunately, the current financial environment, driven by anticipated federal budget cuts to Medicaid, has made it impossible for us to continue operating all of our services, many of which have faced significant financial challenges for years,”

The senate inserted 50 million dollars for rural hospitals into the bill... its what got the bill passed in the senate...

Literal chicken feed compared to the cost to run multiple rural hospitals.

 

[Crepitus]

ZZZZ ZZZZ ZZZZ

None of you minimum wage republicans are gonna see a dime from the tax cuts.

 

[Crepitus]

That's not going to help rural hospitals.

Exactly. That's less than a drop in the bucket.

 

[Crepitus]

You know that if you keep your head up your butt all the nasty stuff will just go away!!!!

We know, we see you bloody tRumplings do it every day.

 

[Crepitus]

Yeah, you've been bracing for the apocalypse for 8 months and it hasn't happened.

Are you joking? It's actually happening as we speak.

States also have to step up their support for these institutions.... the feds can't do it all... if a hospital fails its on the state and county where they reside...

 

[iamwhatiseem]

More unsubstantiated Democrat bullshit.
America is not a country based on everyone gets free shit and don't have to get a job. That is liberal la-la land fantasy.

 

[Crepitus]

rural hospitals all over the country have been closing for the past 10 years regardless of payments from medicaid....now its a problem?....

It's been a problem all along, and this will make it much worse.
