I have worked in a Texas hospital for 20+ years. The hospital was gung-ho FOR obamacare. Last week we were told there would be layoffs. If you want surgery, bring your cash, because obamacare/medicare/medicaid will not pay enough to cover our costs.

The surgery was botched by the hospital's doctor and I was in a septic coma for three weeks. I spent another month as a patient and then was sent home to finish recovering. As I was getting ready to return home, I was told that I was fired - "because I could no longer do the work". My health insurance went away a month later, for the next four years! It's not just the govt, those money- seeking corporations will screw you if it profits them. They are trying to become a "magnet hospital"....I can't wait to have a conversation with the certifying inspection team when they come by. Be careful of those smooth-talking', values-spouting Catholic non-profits!

Hopefully she will be able to find a position. 25 years is a long time for them to just throw her out.
