Jennersville and Brandywine hospitals (both in Chester County) are being closed in the next month.
Chester Crozer, Springfield, Taylor and Delaware County Community (all in Delaware County and owned by the same group) are up for sale.
A few thoughts:
-
Is this an attempt to skirt away from potential "mandate" lawsuits once (and if) the courts finally puts an end to this nonsense
-
Is this yet another move towards socialist/communist health care where everyone is funneled only to government sponsored facilities?
Is this occurring anywhere else?
Just further proof that we need to do everything we can to keep ourselves healthy and explore more holistic means of care. It's no secret that keeping us sick and medicated works towards their agenda.
Anything thoughts or insights is greatly appreciated because y'all are way smarter then I am! :)
Yep.. great plan! BE LIKE CANADA (said no country, ever!) LoL!
Many many hospitals have closed in my state over the last 20 years. Too many people getting “free” medical and they can’t afford to stay open. It seems that there are fewer and fewer choices and it does look like funneling leading to government run only. Just like retail is now Amazon, Wal Mart and a few others, soon we will have only “Wal Mart” type Hospitals. Should be great….. What could go wrong?
Exactly!! What could go wrong!!
You're absolutely correct about not being able to stay open when all their contracts with insurance carriers are based on Medicare (CMS) reimbursement and high cost share plans that people who do pay for their insurance can't afford and zero from the people who get theirs "free" (well, not "free".. our tax dollars support that)
Yes. Unless the doctors and nurses and all hospital staff are working for free, it ain’t free. Someone has to pay or they close, and they are closing. We had the best medical system in the world and we screwed it up. Thanks Obama.
Not to go deep into it now because I really should be asleep (!!) but the problem with healthcare in the country are the insurance companies .. who are in bed with the government.
I've been in medical revenue for a good 30 years so I've seen it at its best and through the horrors that are HMOs (thanks Killary) and Obamacare (thanks Barry!) and worked for 2 major health systems.
There are costs to hospitals that people don't think about.. electricity, computers, paper, etc. All the costs of running a business. And make no mistake, that's what a hospital is.
But with insurance companies having the largest lobbiest in DC, while making a profit from Obamacare, reducing payment to providers while increasing the out of pocket to the policy holder all the while cutting benefits AND over-riding a physician's plan of care.. how can you NOT view them as Satan's Spawn?
The entire top-down, heirarchical medical-pharma-government-insurance-industrial complex is doomed. It's going to collapse in glorious ruin sooner than most people would believe.
Good news is there are more and more independent practitioners out there who are pioneering new ways to do medicine. Let the whole Big Med complex collapse in ruins. There are already seeds sprouting of a new, more patient-centric, bottom-up medical non-system that will rise from the ashes of the evil old megastructure.
Bring it on.
Who owns these hospitals? Could Americore be involved? Joe's brother's fraud caused closure of our hospital and others incl FBI raids.

If they were making money, they wouldn't be closing.
