Healthcare started laying people off, including nurses, engaging hiring freezes, and tightening 2 months ago. After the senate pass, they’ve promised more cuts.
Hospital income is 30-60% Medicare & Medicaid. Urban leans towards 30%. Rural and critical access lean heavily to the 60% side of things.
As such, the expectation should be cuts in medical service availability.
The biggest loss leader in the medical hospital line up is mother/baby & NICU. This is why not every hospital has these services. Or why a corporate chain in an area has 1 between their hospitals. The expectation here needs to be that less mother/baby services will be available going forward.
Don’t think for one second that hospitals cannot shut down.
