Trump Has Yet to Even Sign His "Big, Beautiful Bill" and Already Two RED STATE Health Facilities Are Closing Because of It.

CURTIS, Neb. (KNOP) - Citing inflation over the past few years combined with uncertainty of future federal funding, Community Hospital has made the decision to close Curtis Medical Center, although an exact date for the closure is yet to be determined.

Curtis Medical Center has served the Curtis community and surrounding areas for over 30 years, providing essential healthcare services to families, students and individuals in this rural region. Community Hospital said the decision to close the facility was not made lightly and follows extensive evaluation of financial sustainability and resource allocation.

An hour prior, Community Hospital in McCook, Neb., announced its closure.

Community Hospital in McCook announced Wednesday that it will close Curtis Medical Center in Curtis, winding down its services over the next several months.

"Unfortunately, the current financial environment, driven by anticipated federal budget cuts to Medicaid, has made it impossible for us to continue operating all of our services, many of which have faced significant financial challenges for years," Troy Bruntz, President and CEO of Community Hospital, said in a news release.

We have a list of 345 medical facilities, both large and small, that are closing in SC. The list is growing. The entire state is 85% classified as rural and many other closures are significantly large satellites of larger hospitals.
Aren't both articles about the same clinic? Either way, one so quickly is bad enough too.

“Everybody dies.” Senator Joni Ernst, in response to question about Medicare cuts.

They will “get over it.” Senator Mitch McConnell regarding Medicare cuts.
If it results in hardship and possible death for Trump supporters, I really don't care, it's what they voted for.

@independentone They seem to have no idea how hard this bill is going to hit the rural poor who elected him.

Choice was clear. They voted for it. Consequences forthcoming.

He is probably trying to find a way to turn it into a spectacle and or make some money off the signing.

Maybe use a few hundred pens and sell them to his MAGAts.
