Doesn’t that hospital serve a majority black community? I thought I read that somewhere. If so, I’m a bit surprised and pleased to see this information get through the MSM’s iron curtain.

[Vince Ferrer]

That hospital is racist.

[Safrguns]

I wonder what that 45 mil represents as a percentage of it’s normal income?

[Paladin2]

Shut.

It.

Down.

[GreyFriar]

If all its patients just follow Michelle’s dietary and exercise guide lines all of them should not have any health problems and thus need the hospital. (sarcasm)

[Hoodat]

Grady baby ping.

Grady may be better off with Medicaid expansion because it is a safety net hospital and could make up the loss with volume but hospitals generally lose money on Medicaid which is why expansion isn’t a cure-all for anything.

[VerySadAmerican]

Were all these hospitals and companies holding off on their announcements hoping the republicans would stop it from being implemented? All of a sudden companies are very publicly ANNOUNCING they’re cutting hours and hospitals are telling about losses.

Obamacare don’t need no stinking hospitals.

Pray America is Waking Up

[hosepipe]

Does that include the money they steal from double charging?...
Probably not..

The article explains the reason for the federal funding loss. ObamaCare increased Medicaid eligibility. Medicaid is primarily a state responsibility, but the federal government helps fund it. To help pay for the increase in Medicaid, the federal government reduced grants to hospitals.

The ObamaCare Medicaid expansion puts a large, unfunded mandate on the states. The increased federal funding of the Medicaid expansion is temporary. Some Republican governors agreed to participate in the Medicaid expansion (Ohio, New Jersey), because they felt they could not turn down the federal dollars. Others rejected it because they felt even with the federal dollars, in a few years when the federal dollars were reduced, they would no be able to maintain the funding for the expansion.

If you’re in a car wreck in Atlanta, you want to go to Grady. Best trauma center in GA.

A few years ago my husband had a detached retina and didn’t have insurance. He went to Grady’s emergency room, was bumped to the top of the line, had a room in a few hours and was operated on the next day. His eye was saved. Couldn’t have gotten better care.

Grady hospital.
This will really be nothing new. Grady has always been a money losing hospital it seems. They are always looking for a handout it seems, threatening to close in past years, iirc.

[napscoordinator]

Georgia turned down expansion of Medicaid which is great! Georgia will be better off overall!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

12 years ago (+/- ) Grady proposed some sort of co-pay increase for its low income clientele.
It was very reasonable, I thought.
From $0.00 to $5.00 (or close)
You would not believe the protests and headlines. My God, you would have thought Grady said unless you give us $5.00, you can ESAD because we are not treating you and no one else will.
Cuts will have to be made. If it comes out of the patients’ pockets who will they blame? Grady or obamacare?
