The Cleveland Clinic, which is ranked among the top four U.S. hospitals, is making layoffs and cutting its budget more than $100 million as a direct result of the Affordable Care Act, the Daily Caller has learned.

“The cuts for 2014, about half of those are related to the Affordable Care Act…We anticipate a reduction in workforce,” Cleveland Clinic executive director of communications Eileen Sheil said in an interview with TheDC.

We closed our little local hospital. Nothing around for miles. Awful...just awful.

Didn’t Idi Obama hold this clinic as an example of how wonderful ObamaCare would be in cutting health care costs?

How long before we will need too go to Haiti for decent medical care.

Shortly after ObamaCare passed, I was having my annual checkup and my doctor informed me that he was leaving the clinic where he was currently employed and moving his practice to a clinic in Costa Rica.

When I asked him why?

He said, "I read the damn bill. And in five years this clinic will be run by a federal, bureaucrat bean-counter. I don't function well with a yoke around my neck."

If you like your top-in-the-world hospitals, you can keep them. It's not like ObamaCare is going to gut the American medical system and turn it into a third-world experience. Is it?

My husband works for one of the busiest hospital in our town n already they are cutting his hours. They have been sending employees home earlier and telling them to take the day off! I’m just waiting for the shoe to drop when they make him part time. This is when your faith comes in.Trust in The Lord your God and he will provide! Fasten your eyes on the Almighty cause we are living in dangerous times! God help us!

A lot of those spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to become doctors are going to be in debt for the rest of their lives while they watch their dreams slip away. And still they kiss the little islamist’s butt.

They sure do. Remember one day well sitting around the unit table listening to the interns talk about how stupid Republicans are. Would love to hear what they think about all the latest developments with the ACA and how they basically will be working for minimum wage before it’s all over.

I'm in my 50s, and about 10 years ago I remember looking around, and being appreciative of how much hospitals had improved since I was a kid in the '60s. Most of them are beautiful and very well run.

I can't tell you how much I detest these communist ignoramuses.

Obama is destroying much infrastructure built over the last 50 years, i.e., health care, industry, military, etc.
