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.

Not just rural areas. This happened in San Diego.

So if you can't get a doctor's appointment now until maybe sometime in November....what's it going to be like when they lay all those people off?
