The Obamacare website is open for business. But the Charlton Memorial Hospital in Folkston, Georgia, is closed.
Because Republicans in half the states have blocked the expansion of Medicaid, funds to public hospitals with large uninsured populations have been slashed.
Desperate to try to blame everything and the weather on the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried to pin the cuts in subsidies to hospitals on the dynamics of the law alone.
Purely for ideological reasons, Republicans are creating a health care crisis in their own states.

It’s all bush’s fault. !

Why doesn't Zero just give those hospitals money? From his stash. Just bypass those nasty mean ol' Republicans.
Similar argument: “DAMN THAT WOMAN for making me rape her! She was dressing in clothes, you know, and that’s too sexy. SHE CAUSED THIS!”

Yeah, THAT'S a woman who loves men.
Loves them all up.
Just crazy about them.
So, the hospitals are closing because they don’t have enough Medicaide patients?
California has been heralded as one of the best states for Obamacare. It’s implementation here has been somewhat better than the whole. At least that’s what we’ve been led to believe.
This afternoon I did some private health insurance shopping. While I was looking around, I spent a few minutes on the phone with a young person working the insurance phone lines, private and the Affordable Healthcare Act. One thing he’s having to deal with these days is making him disgusted. I could tell he’s about at his wits end with this nonsense.
Guess what system was down. LMAO
Yep, Obamacare was down in the bright shining example of how to do Obamacare right.
California...
Imagine how bad it had to be before, if the system being down is fixed compared to what it was like before.
So, the hospitals are closing because they dont have enough Medicaide patients?
...but prior to the non-expansion, they did?
Ah, yes. Blocking the expansion of a federal program equates to slashing it. What a lovely old canard.
LOL @ “free federal money”.
The OSHIT AKA Obama Care eliminates the payments to hospitals that have enabled them to care for the uninsured who show up in their emergency rooms.
The planned expansion in Medicaid is insufficient to totally make up for this. So hospitals are in trouble either way. In addition, funding for Medicare reimbursement is being slashed nation wide by Oct. 2014.
This person’s report is misleading and doesn’t tell the whole story as usual. The government could delay the elimination of the funds like they did last year, and presto solvo. No they are too intent on trying to force everyone they can into Medicaid.
You know what happens to those families who get shoved into Medicaid? What little assets they have managed to work and pay for, including their house, becomes the property of the state - their family can not inherit their assets. How many of these people that are being tossed off their insurance and forced into Medicaid do you think know that?
This is satire, right? Right?!
Because Republicans in half the states have blocked the expansion of Medicaid, funds to public hospitals with large uninsured populations have been slashed.
**************************************************
This is an incorrect statement. Because the OSHIT, Democrat passed plan eliminates the current funding, there is not enough money to offset the expenses of hospitals with large uninsured populations, even if Medicaid is expanded.
Hmm, that lets them chase future generations out of that same home? I hope not. I hope as long as the family has occupants of the home they should not be able to be evicted from it (even if the gummit has a lien).
That Napoleon Dynamite after Lasik?
True for the spouse, offspring under 20 years old, disabled or blind offspring, certain others with hardship exemption or if income depends on it (varies a little by state).
Even yet this looks like room enough to bother a lot of Americans. At this point, bother is good. Bother is going to be needed to get America to repudiate the evil.
Nope.
Just because Repubs in those states don’t bend over and take Obamacare up the ass the closures are Obamacare’s fault.
