It must be noted that I started documenting these ObamaCare/healthcare related shutdowns at the beginning of 2014. In that year I posted the reports biannually (every six months). In 2015 ObamaCare cutbacks ramped up and I posted quarterly (every three months). For the past ten months of 2016 there have been so many ObamaCare cutbacks that I’ve posted a report every month!
Incomplete list of healthcare related layoffs and shutdowns, October 2016:
Arizona: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services warns that ObamaCare insurance rates for men in The Grand Canyon State could skyrocket 116%, to an average of $422 per month in 2017!
California: CareFusion Resources revealed it laid off 128 people in San Diego at the end of September! Then the U.S. Department of Defense announced it awarded CareFusion a five years tax-sucking contract to design a Pharmacy Impatient Automation Solution-Automated Dispensing Cabinet. Apparently some of the tax-sucking development can be done outside the U.S. Ireland based drugs maker Shire issued a layoff WARN for its Los Angeles ops, 320 jobs gone by January 2017! Palo Alto based blood tester Theranos eliminating 340 jobs in Arizona, California and Pennsylvania! Theranos is shutting down labs in an effort to make themselves more economically viable. UC Irvine Medical Center eliminating 175 jobs due to costs of operation: “Academic centers are generally more costly because we provide services that other hospitals don’t…”-John Murray
Connecticut: Hartford based health insurer Aetna eliminating 8-hundred jobs directly connected with the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare)! Administrators said it was part of their attempts to survive ObamaCare in 2017.
Florida: Grocery chain Winn Dixie suddenly began shutting down 13 pharmacy operations throughout The Sunshine State. Administrators blame ObamaCare for declining business.
Georgia: Memorial Hospital and Manor eliminating 18 jobs, blaming ObamaCare lack of funding.
Idaho: Karcher Care Group issued a WARN for their Nampa nursing home ops, 172 jobs gone! “Concerning and certainly somewhat problematic.” That’s how state Department of Insurance Director Dean Cameron describes health insurance provider’s plans to greatly jack up ‘out of network’ charges. According to the Idaho Statesman “Blue Cross of Idaho plans will have a $50,000 out-of-network deductible for individuals, and patients will have an out-of-pocket responsibility for up to $75,000 of all out-of-network claims — up from $4,000 and $10,000 this year.
BridgeSpan and SelectHealth members will have less-extreme deductibles, but they will be responsible for up to $200,000 of their bills if they go out of network.
The amounts are doubled for families.”
Illinois: Cook County Health and Hospitals System eliminating 320 jobs by Xmas! It’s blamed on a drastically reduced taxpayer funded operating budget for fiscal 2017.
Indiana: Community Health Network shutting down Community Westview Hospital after Xmas, 187 jobs lost!
Kentucky: University of Louisville claims ‘christian’ owned KentuckyOne Health owes $46-million USD in back due payments! In 2012, U of L contracted with Colorado based ‘christian’ KentuckyOne to manage its hospital and cancer treatment center. Instead of making the U of L health care operations profitable KentuckyOne ended up eliminating more than 5-hundred jobs. ‘Christian’ administrators of KentuckyOne countered by demanding to know what U of L is doing with the money it already got! Let me remind you ‘christians’: “But the root of all these evils is the love of money, and there are some who have desired it and have erred from the faith and have brought themselves many miseries.”-1 Timothy 6:10 Aramaic Bible
Louisiana: Lafayette General Medical Center canceled its contract for house cleaning services, resulting in 243 contracted cleaners becoming jobless!
Michigan: Emergent BioSolutions eliminated 91 jobs due to making their drug ops more efficient. After 40 years Detroit East Health Services shutdown, affecting 8-hundred patients! An unnamed employee told local news media the shutdown was “…for corruption, for personal gain…”
New Jersey: Meda Pharmaceutical eliminating 94 jobs after being taken over by the evil maker of the hyper expensive EpiPen.
North Carolina: Drugs maker Pfizer warning that as many as 4-hundred employees could become unemployed “Due to recent changes in market demand…”
Ohio: Summa Health announced they eliminated jobs, but refused to say how many. DentalOne Partners shutting down their HQ, 53 jobs lost right after Xmas. The dental service chain is “consolidating” its HQ ops to Texas.
Oklahoma: Muscogee (Creek) Nation Department of Health eliminated 123 jobs without warning, many former employees being escorted off tribal property by police! Administrators blame it on the drastically reduced taxpayer funded 2017 budget.
Oregon: Bend Memorial Clinic eliminating 20 jobs and several services: “This is part of a gradual strategic alignment, eliminating certain services which will free up resources to do the things we think will strengthen us in the future. We tried to look not necessarily at money losers, but services that are provided elsewhere in the community.”-David Holloway, ceo
Tennessee: God can’t stop ‘his’ Baptist Memorial from shutting down their Union City office, 60 jobs killed right before Xmas.
Virginia: Ace Insurance eliminating at least 60 jobs in Salem by Xmas, it might be connected to their take-over of Switzerland based Chubb.
Washington: The ‘christian’ god powerless to stop ‘his’ Saint Joseph Medical Center laying off 44 people right before Xmas. The so called christian administrators of the hospital boasted that they’re advertising that they have 6-hundred vacant positions, so why the layoffs? Colonial Vista Retirement Center issued a shutdown WARN for their Wenatchee ops, 219 jobs gone right after Thanksgiving! Hearthstone Cottages issued shutdown WARNS for two of its assisted living centers, 84 jobs gone right after Thanksgiving. “Wellness provider for employers” Healthways issued a shutdown WARN for their Bellevue ops, 68 jobs gone right after Xmas.
Washington DC: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services warns that ObamaCare insurance rates will increase an average of 25% across 39 U.S. states, in 2017!
September 2016: “YOU CAN’T KEEP THE DOORS OPEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE PROVIDERS”
U.S. CHRISTIAN SELF-DESTRUCTION 2ND Q 2016: “ALL THE CHURCHES ARE EXPERIENCING THIS DECLINE….”
