The decision to shut down comes as the hospital files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
To be known as a 'standing headline' in the near future, thanks to ObamaRomneycare.

Many of the smaller ‘independent’ hospitals can only remain open if they’re bought out and taken over by a larger group. The rest will have to shut down. This has been going on for several years. 0bamacare may be hastening events.

Sure the hospital’s closed, but now the healthcare is free.

I wonder what creative lie the progressive communists will vomit out of their black mouths when, for the first time in history, American’s life expectancy falls? I predict they will use something like “freedom from old age,” “a glorious sacrifice to help the young,” or “Bush-induced accelerated aging syndrome.”

According to the hospital's website, they are the largest employer in the city of North Adams.So, how do they stay open? North Adams is a nice place but there is no way the local citizenry can support a facility this size. This isn't necessarily Obamacare or Romneycare. It's more about declining demographics.

This might ultimately be a good thing for that community.
What was the number of deadly hospital induced infections because they paid low skilled administrative clerks more than janitors?
As one who was provided better “care” from the cleaning staff, than from the nurse on duty...

From the article: “Many of the angry workers and residents, on Tuesday night, were hoping their elected representatives can do something to relieve the community-wide misery.”
There they go looking to government. The same government that screwed them up in the first place.

Do they have to sign an affidavit swearing that they didn't let all of those people go because of Obamacare?

In the whole report, not a word as to WHY the place is closing. I guess this just happened in a vacuum, with no rhyme or reason? The closest they get to an explanation is a vague reference to “the health care environment. “ More crackerjack journalism from our friends in the media.

Ninety percent of the people who are whining about this probably bitched, bitched, bitched, bitched, bitched about their bill from the "greedy hospital"...
"Look at this, $11.50 for an aspirin!!"
.... despite the fact that (1) they probably actually had to pay ten cents on the dollar of that bill and (2) had no idea of the insane cost-increasing regulations the hospital had to cope with.
I wish them joy, they'll now have one less thing to bitch about.
