970 employees to be laid off at central Las Vegas Valley hospital

This is not fully accurate, they come to the usa because the doctors here charge more, earn more, which is why those specialists are here in the usa instead of elsewhere. And those coming for specific care have money which can put them in the front of the line.

back in 2009 the usa pushback on obamacare was around the way things were implemented. I never met even the most die-hard republican/conservative that thought our healthcare system wasnt broken if you didnt have millions. It is still broken, medical bankruptcy is still a thing, and insurance costs are still sky-high.

 

Meh. My family coverage is $345/year. Decisions made early-on in life have lasting effects into old age. I wrote a check early on that guaranteed me this health plan today.

 

That’s what
Most places do ,
They build a new hospital nearby , and close and demolish the old one or turn it into a nursing home .
