Rural hosptials in trouble
Rural Blog - Five percent of rural hospitals in the U.S. have closed since 2010, and more than 20 percent of those still open are at high risk of closure unless their fortunes improve. "The situation would significantly worsen in the case of an economic downturn, something that’s looming given that the country is in its longest period of economic expansion ever," according to a new report by business analysts Navigant Consulting. In some states such as Alabama, Alaska and Mississippi, almost half of rural hospitals are at risk of closure, Navigant says.

Ridiculous quest there. What happened after?
Good luck!
Dust Bowl Comin'...
With a hand-full of big Daddy Warbucks sitting in they're 'high-rise' Penthouses, smokin' they're big Cigars (Havanna, no doubt), investing their ill-gotten gains in Third-World Countries that they control, and spittin' out the windows down onto the crumbling pavement here at home; its really no surprise, is it, that as 'Money' is channeled into the hands of the already-Rich, it will be concentrated into smaller geographical areas.
If you want to be guaranteed a well-heeled rural hospital, maybe visit Jackson Hole Wyoming or some other place where the uber-rich are concentrating in fear of a coming economic, social, and political upset.
Just a theory...
This is another reason we need national health care paid for by taxation . It would support rural health care as part of supporting rural communities
If the NEED Act were passed we could pay for Healthcare without taxes or incurring debt...but ignorance of money keeps money in power.
