Won't impact me either, but will impact a bunch of people who voted for it. So, fuck them. This is what they wanted.

This is the importance of quoting the article.

Under the new law, 310,000 are expected to be kicked off the Medicaid rolls in the commonwealth, putting a greater burden on not-for-profit hospitals, which are required to provide care for anyone who shows up at their doors, regardless of their ability to pay.

“It will happen to every hospital across the state, whether they are small, rural or suburban, or they’re an inner city tertiary care facility,” Davis said. “They will all see this.”

The challenge will be far greater for small rural hospitals, which already have higher numbers of Medicaid patients and are reimbursed at lower levels than commercially insured patients. Rural hospitals also see higher numbers of patients with uncompensated care.


You want my analysis?

Let the hospitals refuse the people who aren't capable of paying, like the medicaid cuttees, and, anyone illegally in the country.

Why is this a problem for not for profit hospitals?

And not for profit like UPMC?

Why aren't there any hospitals closing in Pittsburgh?

Only "RURAL" Allegheny county, whatever that is.

This shows the problem of just making blanket statements with no thoughts given to the real underlying problems that exist already, and can't be fixed by just throwing money at them.

I have a huge heart for those who deserve it.

Callous, malevolent morons who vote for fear and hatred, and then get burned by exactly what they voted for? Don't deserve it.
