Texas: Hospitals Laying Off Nurses Because of ObamaCare

Texas Hospitals Lay Off Nurses Due To ObamaCare (Washington Free Beacon)

A Texas hospital is being forced to fire nurses because of the harmful effects of Obamacare.

Hamlin Memorial Hospital let six nurses from the Support Services department go, citing low reimbursement rates, a new change imposed on hospitals by Obamacare.

Keith Butler, a worker at the hospital, told KTAB-TX, “Reimbursements [to the hospital] continue to decline…It hurts the hospital tremendously.”

The hospital expects to save around $400,000 a year by not having the nurses on staff anymore and eliminating overtime and schedule changes and making other cutbacks.
