Rural America Is Losing Its Hospitals - Some blame states' failure to expand Medicaid

Pungo's closing was caused partly by North Carolina's decision not to expand Medicaid under ObamaCare, says the hospital's non-profit owner. Other states that rejected the expansion—like Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama—have seen at least 11 hospitals close or cut back over the past two years, but Republican governors say the expansion would prove too costly over time. Meanwhile, a survey shows that the uninsured rate among poor people has fallen 11% in states expanding Medicaid, but only 2% in states that aren't, Huffington Post reports.
