Hospitals Have Laid Off Over 8,000 Employees Since April Due to Obamacare.

[WelfareQueen]

Obamacare strikes again. What a piece of crap. Here's the main thrust of the article by USA Today.


"While the rest of the U.S. economy is stabilizing or improving, health care is entering into a recession," says John Howser, assistant vice chancellor of Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Health care providers announced more layoffs than any other industry last month — 8,128 — mostly because of reductions by hospitals due to the ACA, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas. So far this year, the health care sector has announced 41,085 layoffs, the third-most behind financial and industrial companies.

Did somebody say, "I just see a huge train wreck"?

From the OP Link:

There are myriad reasons for the cuts, which are affecting administrative staff as well as nurses and doctors:

• Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies are all reducing reimbursement to hospitals. The federal budget cuts known as sequestration have cut Medicare reimbursement by 2%, the American Hospital Association says.

• The health care law has further reduced the Medicare payments to hospitals that provide lower-quality service or have high readmission rates.

• The National Institutes of Health reduced funding to hospitals by 5% as part of sequestration, forcing hospitals to trim research staff.

• The number of inpatient hospital days fell 4% from 2007 to 2011, in part because of the economic downturn, the hospital association says.

• As more Baby Boomers turn 65, their services will be reimbursed at Medicare rates that are lower than those of private payers, putting further pressure on hospital revenue.

The new health care law was supposed to ease the burden on hospitals by expanding Medicaid coverage to more low-income Americans, who often use hospital services in emergencies then don't pay their bills. But 26 states, including Tennessee, rejected ACA's offer of federal funding to expand Medicaid. That decision led to about a third of the job cuts by Nashville-based Vanderbilt, Howser says.

Looks like the "due to Obamacare" is the stuff made by bulls after dinner. I wonder if the author of the OP knows the definition of "Myriad"?

That's true, but it implies that the GOP is Lilly white. Do partisans ever get it?

This is hilarious.

Sounds like they were making too much money for needless jobs under the old, GOP-preferred system. The industry is going to have to adjust to the new system. I feel zilcho sympathy.

[JakeStarkey]

Can't make the connection between ACA and layoffs.

Can make the connection that the GOP had almost twenty years to make appropriate changes but sold out to the health and insurance industries.

Next.

It's always so great when some poster's OP link refutes what the poster himself claims in his OP that there ought to be a word for it.

 

[NYcarbineer]

So conservatives are now all on board the idea that cutting government spending, whatever else it may do,

costs jobs - it doesn't create them?
