A few days ago I posted about one of the first victims of Obamacare - a planned hospital expansion in Knoxville, Tennessee was canceled.
Apparently that's not the only hospital expansion put on hold indefinitely.
The hospital local to The Manse, Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia, New Hampshire, has put their expansion plans on hold due to further cuts in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements and Obama's plans to 'reform' health care, something the hospital board sees will result in even lower payments for services rendered. That makes any plans for expansion non-viable from a financial viewpoint.
Explain to me again how Obama's health care plan is supposed to expand health care coverage by driving hospitals closer to the financial brink?
