Rural Georgia hospital plans to close its labor and delivery unit, in part due to Medicaid cuts
"St. Mary’s Sacred Heart Hospital in rural northeast Georgia will discontinue its maternal health services next month as its parent company moves to consolidate OB/GYN services to one location, the hospital announced last week. The decision will affect the hospital’s labor and delivery unit as well as Clear Creek OBGYN, a separate center which provides reproductive care for patients at all stages of life.
The closure of St. Mary’s labor and delivery unit in Lavonia is one of the first Georgia-based casualties of the federal budget reconciliation package, colloquially known as the “big beautiful bill.” Hospital administrators say the bill, which included a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid funding, contributed to their decision to consolidate OB/GYN services, though it was not the only factor."
It's surprising that more hospitals don't shut down in whole or in part. Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement rates...given a high patient population using these programs, don't allow much financial wiggle room.
Our health case system, just like higher education, is broken, and has been through administrations of both parties. Low cost medical service is a great idea, but so far, doctors, nurses, administrators all want salaries and benefits. So there's a dichotomy between low cost and good service. Obamacare was not and is not the answer
This is what happens when millions of illegals flood the system dpic. Duh!!!!
This is about money. All this sh I t isn't free.
It was due to Medicaid cuts which illegals aren't eligible for except under certain emergency conditions. Duh!!
Are you telling me that all 215 Hispanics in Lavonia were illegals and the loss of that tiny part of the population was the reason the hospital had to close?
You haven't a clue how many are where. Your party somehow lost 300K illegal children.

“On Sept. 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at a meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case and sources.” https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/tom-homan-cash-contracts-trump-doj-investigation-rcna232568

Lol at that guy on CNN calling the Dems, "The New Orleans Saints of political parties". That' seemed a little uncalled for.
Poor Ned: You're in the tank for Trump yet again, even though you KNOW that these cuts to Medicaid under Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" are causing the closure of rural hospitals and clinics, upon which Red Staters rely heavily.
I love your comments, but the hospitals I was talking about closed pre Trump and before the bib beautiful bill
By the way the BBB included $50b for rural hospitals that the Dems have put on the table to cut as part of their negotiations to starve off the government closing.
On a single Saturday in September:
-Trump instructed his AG to go after specific political enemies.
-We learned that his DOJ ended an investigation into his border czar, who was caught on camera taking a $50k cash bribe.
-His Pentagon top brass threatened to expel journalists who report info not cleared by them.
-His WH spoke to a shady deal that will see TikTok in the hands of a consortium of GOP mega-donors.
-Trump threatened "bad things" if we don't re-take Bagram AFB. -
-His most senior counterterrorism official is in a Twitter spat with Laura Loomer.
None of this is normal. All of it is so dangerous and corrosive to our democracy.

President Trump has added a presidential “walk of fame” outside the colonnade by the West Wing — but instead of a portrait of President Biden, he’s represented by a picture of an autopen.
