It will affect lives of many people. But I think the point mentioned by nativeCA is also correct.

Single payer is easily a better system than this train wreck.

I once read they considered closing some. Haven’t heard since.

However, after reading the source article in the OC Register, it appears you pegged this one wrong.
The article states that the hospital lost federal funding due to a series of failed inspections. I have been a hospital nurse for 30+ years and been through many of said inspections. They come in, cite deficiencies and the hospital fixes them. Having funding yanked for repeated failure is a big deal and not done lightly. The article also states that the hospital admitted to recruiting homeless people to undergo procedures that could be billed to MCare/Mcaid.
I’m one nurse who is dead-set against Obamacare. In fact, my current job is fighting Mcare appeals. That MCare “savings” that the admin boasts about is just CMS denying payment to hospitals for legitimate care given. I use my clnical expertise to rebut these denials. My hospital has millions of dollars of revenue tied up in these appeals. I’m with you John but this time,you got it wrong.
