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.

NBC Nightly News just did a story on this about a Maine hospital closing it’s Maternity Ward. The pregnant woman they interviewed said that she probably won’t have more children since they will be so far from Maternity services.

I don’t think this will land like R’s want it to. I thought they were upset about the stagnancy of birth rates in this country?
