Mercy Health announced Thursday it will fire 347 workers due to “increasing challenges to our reimbursement structure as we adjust to reductions mandated by the Affordable Care Act,” the company said in a statement.
President and CEO of the Mercy system, Lynn Britton, said the Obamacare-induced layoffs are taking a toll on workers and their families.
“Changes such as these are difficult and distressing for everyone involved,” said Britton. “While our decisions support Mercy’s ability to stay strong and relevant in the face of challenges impacting all health care providers, today our thoughts and prayers are with those co-workers who are affected.”
Mercy Health’s firings will take place across the four states in which the health system operates, which includes Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Nationally, Obamacare remains deeply unpopular. The RealClearPolitics average of polls finds that just 43% of Americans support Obama’s signature legislative achievement.
Obamacare will cost U.S. taxpayers $2.6 trillion over its first 10 years.

That doesn't even begin to include things like raised premiums and ballooning deductibles.
I hope the members of the 347 that are Obama lovers sleep well tonight thinking about what they’ve done.
For those out of that 347 who opposed obamacare, I’m truly sorry.
For those out of that 347 who supported obamacare, you were warned.
If I remember correctly most healthcare hacks supported this elimination of nojobcare.
“If you like your job you can keep your job!”
Good. Fire everyone. Then we can all pursue our interests (according to pee-lousee).

The only people who benefit from SCOBAMACARE are insurance companies and those who don’t pay a dime for it. Everybody else is getting the shaft.
The leftists don’t care. They are for their agenda first. They could watch every old person die, and would blame Republicans for it. I’ve debated endless leftists, it’s like talking to a wall.
The only thing they dislike about Obamacare is that they wish we were all forced on government healthcare, or “single payer” as the current euphemism. I often look at DU, there are plenty of threads of DU’ers saying they have had problems, they are basically called liars or selfish. If they claim their deductables have jumped thousands of dollars, they are overargued. The leftists don’t care. It just can’t be. Nothing is as important as the agenda, not people’s lives, their health, their pocketbooks. They have it all figured out in their little heads, and if people come at them with what has ACTUALLY happened, they are discounted.
Black is white, Good is evil. We are in an upside down world. What was your good health insurance has been taken from you because it was “bad”.
Not to worry, ya get free Obamacare!
And to think, the worse aspects of the bill have been delayed until after the next presidential election.
I thought I heard him say this morning that Americans are much better off economically this year. LIAR.
Good. perhaps it is a good thing Obamacare (or is it SCOTU-scare) was upheld by the Supreme Leaders. Might as well give the sheep a good solid dose of what they voted for. Will they learn? Will they know why they suffer? Will they blame Bush?

Excellent video. But the I hope the elderly man in it is not suffering from too much pain in his hands - looks like he has some case of arthritis there and to be doing such fine work...
As I suspected, “Mercy Health” is at least nominally a Roman Catholic outfit.
Bam-Bam won’t be satisfied until he drives them out of business completely. Everything under the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.
I hope he's still alive...
I believe he had gout in his hands....
