How many non working freeloaders.....
The MAGA freeloaders are plentiful in Otero County, Colorado, represented by Boebert they voted solidly for Trump. Elections have consequences.
"Nearly half of the population in Otero County, where the hospital is located, are covered by Medicaid, according to a report by the Colorado Rural Health Center. Twenty-six percent are Medicare enrollees"
Not a very wealthy area of Colorado, in the conservative Eastern Plains, nice folks for the most part.
"Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center in La Junta is laying off staff. The move comes as deep budget cuts to health care loom in a proposal before the Republican-led Congress in Washington, D.C. In Colorado and elsewhere, health and hospital officials warn the bill could drive rural hospitals into a potentially catastrophic tailspin."
Oops for MAGA, they want to keep their Federal Welfare, they just want the libs to lose theirs.
A key rural hospital in La Junta is laying people off with deep federal Medicaid cuts looming
Sucks to be poor in a poor area in Trumps America, that's bad for the rural areas, you know, Trump country.
If this hospital were to close, the nearest one is a hour's drive away, not good for Farmer John during his heart attack.
