The SCOTUS decision on Friday makes it even worse for rural hospitals. The six injustices just had to do their part to make it worse, of course. 😠(Clip is from the article.) contrarian.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

Trump administration isn't going to lift a finger to help providers like Planned Parenthood and the Medicaid recipients who rely on them. The decision is going to be especially devastating for people who live in rural areas. Amicus briefs filed in the Planned Parenthood case painted a stark picture of health care availability: Approximately seventy-seven million Americans, or more than 20% of the United States, live in areas identified by the federal Health Resources and Service Administration as having a shortage of health professionals-not enough providers to meet residents' needs for primary care. 65% percent of rural areas have a shortage of primary care physicians. Ten million women live in counties where there is not a single OB/GYN. Planned Parenthood is one of the providers trying to fill this yawning gap; more than seventy percent of Planned Parenthood's locations are in rural areas.

Closing rural hospitals will force people to use bigger city hospitals. Increasing wait times at those facilities. As for profit centers see more people and increased demand. They will increase cost and billing fraud / errors. We will have a healthcare crisis that involves all.
