Most people would consider money a resource, and quite a few rural hospitals are closing because of a lack of that specific resource.

Yeah, wait until you hear about private for-profit insurers doing that instead.

As an adult, i deal with private for-profit insurers all the time. If you're under 26, you've probably never paid a medical bill.

It's a money problem because the medicare doesn't pay enough to hosptals, and boomers are all on medicare.

So your government run healthcare is destorying rural hospitals.

Sure you have. Copays and deductibles are still a thing. I wish my kids didn't have medical bills!
