Georgias Gov. Deal refused Obamacare ... so hospitals in our state have closed, jobs were lost, and we the people sufferer ... they have to drive farther down the road now for medical services! This is not how you treat we the people and it is a plain glaring example of how this governor does not serve the people of this state. ATLANTA (AP) -- Months after Georgia allowed struggling rural hospitals to scale back their operations to save money, not a single facility has signed on. Gov. Nathan Deals administration intended that unprofitable rural hospitals could scale back their services and just offer emergency care and a few outpatient services. Public health officials said reduced care was better than no care at all if a rural hospital closed. Hospital executives were skeptical the plan would save much money. This fall, financial consultants told a state committee that freestanding emergency rooms would probably take a loss, likely discouraging any hospital from pursuing it. We havent been able to make the finances of it work, said Jimmy Lewis, CEO of HomeTown Health, a network of rural hospitals. There was never any enthusiasm right after it came out. https://accessnorthga/detail.php?n=283195
