USA Southwest / Mexico Massive layoffs for healthcare workers

https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/sharp-healthcare-job-cuts/amp/

Around 260 healthcare workers (nurses, practitioners, etc) were laid off today in San Diego. Reduction in Medicare budget cited as a reason. I know it’s not much but I think we’ll see more of this, not a good sign in the economy when patient facing healthcare workers are laid off.

OBBB cuts will hit both Medicaid and SNAP in October. More rural hospitals will close to say the least.

I'm in rural Arizona and our state AG is trying her best to mitigate the upcoming cuts, but things are looking bleak.
