Despite American healthcare being rigged to increase demand and drive up the cost of care, market forces are beginning to take hold and reality sets in as hospitals begin to cut staff. It’s been a long time coming.
Just when the (un)Affordable Care Act was supposed to create hordes of newly insured patients seeking medical care, the healthcare industry is laying off doctors, nurses, x-ray and lab technicians.
Despite all the needless care and contrived diseases and excessive vaccinations, stagnant incomes(actually eroding incomes when inflation is calculated) are putting the brakes to a sector of the economy that is being relied upon to create new jobs. According to a report in USA TODAY, inpatient days fell 4% and revenues declined and more and more Baby Boomers switched from private insurance to Medicare that pays doctors and hospitals less.
