According to your article, 58 rural hospitals closed from 2010 to the present. The PPACA was implemented in 2014.
Nothing new about the closing of health care facilities. The ultimate cause has been Ronnie RayGun's socialist EMTALA which forced facilities to give free health care. Because of EMTALA, we've also lost trauma centers and burn centers.
Another thing the right would like to blame on ObamaCare is the laying off of medical personnel. Not true, of course. Cutting revenue to hospitals, forced them to cut the number of hours in order to get away with cutting benefits, thus keeping their doors open.
Funny to me is that the RW hero, Reagan made it possible for illegals to get free healthcare. EMTALA also gives illegals free births and abortions. ObamaCare does not.
