The hospital and clinics receive $166 million annually in Medi-Cal revenue — which makes up about 60 percent of the total budget.


Obamacare equals big bucks to these health care providers.

Patients who aren’t on the medicaid free ride aren’t coming back because the deductibles are killing them.

“They’re just not coming back,” she said.


Because they’re dead or can’t afford it any longer.

The (wrong) hospitals simply don’t want the open competition on the free market where consumers are free to choose the best quality care for the lowest price.

Big government is like a drug - it puts alertness, industriousness, and innovation to sleep.

Pretty obvious —

We The People hate Obamacare because it sucks money out of our pockets.

Where does that money go? To these people. So they’re a little depressed right now.

LVNs are important in hospitals. However, if they were the brain trust of hospitals, they would be key mds, administrators and head RNs.

So the source of this non news is shaky at best.

Hey, maybe these so-called "hospitals" that fear repeal can have some competition from Physician-owned hospitals, when they are allowed again with the repeal.

I know people who worked in healthcare and had their benefits or jobs cut because of obamacare. I even read a quote from vox yesterday with the same problem.

If I heard my president correctly we will get the repeal and new program in two weeks. We will not tolerate repairing this communist health care debacle . We want that obliterated. I and many here have proposed viable new plans but they must emphasize that we do not want to pay for freeloaders health insurance with our premiums, that is communism. We have the ER for freeloaders so they don’t die in the street.

AND, even if there HAD been some financial gain, it was bought with a loss in FREEDOM, and FREEDOM is more important than MONEY (yes, any DEMs may need to reread and reread that until they can comprehend if, if ever), so out the F with it!!

So this medical center is harvesting 60% of its budget from taxpayers and their work load is less because people can’t afford the deductibles to come to the doctor. And this “healthcare professional” thinks that is great….no doubt an Obama voter.

Fake news. Hospitals are some of the biggest opponents of obamacare. Doctors hate it. And patients are going bankrupt trying to pay for it.

The entire hospital industrial complex, both wings of it (for profit & “non-profit”) have become just like the education industrial complex, as ever-more addicted to government dictated and directed financial opium that put all the THEIR increased costs on government & private insured customers (and students & taxpayers for the schools) and never questioned the original sources of the cost increases themselves - doctors, hospitals, health care providers & in the case of schools, “educators”.

All the “help” from government has merely been to keep paying the cost increases of the health care industrial complex and the education industrial complex, with greater levels of revenue and subsidies from (a) taxpayers and (b) mandates on insurance policies.
