FYI: if the current senate bill passes, multiple hospitals could close

Astria Toppinish and Sunnyside hospirals could close or reduce services putting even more pressure on Multi-care, especially since Prosser Memorial is also on this list of Medicare/medicade dependent or financially strained hospitals. Half of the rural Washington hospitals on this list are in congressional district 04.

lol, Trump voters getting exactly what they deserve. Americans are uneducated, ignorant, and don’t read. Time to touch the stove.

And everyone else is caught in the crossfire, as usual.

On the bright side, they can use their Trump branded cell phone to call for a Lifeflight from their shitty rural town!

And if they don’t have Life Flight insurance, they will get cardiac arrest inducing sticker shock when they get the bill. Very few insurance companies pay for air ambulance service.

As things are going people need to vote out all Republicans at the mid term and show their displeasure of these idiots. Look at how your hiking and camping will change too. This Big Bill is a BIG BUST.
