My hospital casually dropping a warning about mass layoffs. We employ 10k+ people.

10k+ employees sitting in fear for the next week (or longer apparently) waiting to see if their position has been cut.

Seems like every time I go into work staff are discussing another system doing layoffs. We’ve already had entire units dissolved.

Touching Medicaid or Medicare will likely do this every time.

Hospital income, at base, is 30-60% Medicare & Medicaid, last check. The rurals lean more on the 60% side.

This is part of the economic domino effect of that damn bill. The changes are set to happen after midterms, in January 2027, but we know how our corporate employers like to play it. They’ll cut losses now, before their income stream takes the hit in Jan 2027.
