Obamacare Intentionally Designed To Close Rural Hospitals


Since 2010, 48 rural hospitals across America have closed and a whopping 283 are on the verge of shutting their doors. This is surely an intended consequence of the ACA as any incoming totalitarian regime needs to consolidate all sectors of public life under one umbrella in order to implement control.

The consolidation includes people themselves. It is of greater interest of despotic regimes for their populations to live in urban areas rather than rural, as outlined in the United Nations Agenda 21:

This will come as a shock to many reading this article because they did not learn of these events from FOX or CNN. However, in actuality, the process of moving the United States towards a complete Agenda 21 style of total urbanization has already commenced and it began nearly 20 years ago. In the case of total urbanization, the United States is in the process of dividing the country into 11 large densely populated urban centers. The concept, which will be the subject of a future investigation, will  explore this “end-game” strategy of the globalists which will depopulate the America’s suburbs and and rural areas. The concept is called megacities and the framework was laid in 1994,  when the United States became official participants in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was a ‘liberalized’ trade agreement between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Under NAFTA, farmers’ income in all three countries has plummeted and millions of small farmers have lost their land, while agribusiness corporations (i.e. large government subsidized corporate farms) have reaped huge profits. Subsequently, NAFTA has had three dramatic effects on farmers in North America and all three effects further the cause dense urbanization as outlined in Agenda 21 documents.

More On Rural Hospital Closures:

Rural hospitals are ripe for closures because they tend to serve more elderly and poor patients, which translates to more Medicare and Medicaid patients. Many of these hospitals have been losing money lately because the federal government, under the Affordable Care Act, has cut back on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to doctors and hospitals.

“Up until now, hospitals have failed and succeeded, they’ve come and gone just like businesses,” Hieb said. “Some are better-run than others, but the economic deck was not totally stacked against them. Now, unfortunately, the economic deck is stacked against them in such a way that, universally, smaller hospitals are disenfranchised.”

Dr. Hieb went so far as to compare the shuttering of rural hospitals to the infamous Reichstag fire, which some believe was a false flag attack by Nazi Germany.

“This is going to be like the Reichstag fire,” Hieb proclaimed. “It’s going to be an excuse to say, ‘Look, the free market failed, and now we can go in and institute universal health care, because you see, these people in these rural areas need healthcare, and you’re not getting it to them.’

Hieb predicted the closure of rural hospitals in “Surviving the Medical Meltdown.” In the book, she warns, “In the near future, there will be many underserved areas. Finding a doctor will be harder and harder, especially for the poor, the rural, and the elderly.”

She says the government often deems certain treatments “unnecessary” in order to avoid having to reimburse providers for them.

The result is predictable: economic failure of hospitals and physician practices that have become dependent on government payment for large segments of their population,” Hieb says. “The hospitals and offices that will close are those with the least private insurance.”

Hieb explains that “whereas private insurance might pay the surgeon $4,500 for a spinal surgery (my specialty), Medicare paid less than $1,200.”

Once rural hospitals close, it creates a snowball effect, according to Hieb. Doctors will move to areas where hospitals are still viable – areas with a high ratio of private insurance to government insurance. The few doctors who remain in rural areas will see their workloads increase, leading to stress. Hieb herself experienced a situation like this when she worked at a hospital in Arizona that served many Medicare patients.

“In general medicine and other areas, hospital on-call nights were so brutal – keeping doctors up all night in spite of working all the next day – that all the doctors who could function outside the hospital chose to leave the hospital staff for purely outpatient practices,” Hieb wrote. “Those who could afford to retire did so. And in orthopedics, we were left with four surgeons doing the work that was being done elsewhere by 10 or more.”

So the increased patient loads will take a toll on the physicians who remain, driving even more of them away. In fact, many of them will not simply move away or retire, but actually take their own lives. Hieb points out that physicians have the highest suicide rate of any profession. They are 1.87 times as likely to kill themselves as the average American worker.

Once the supply of doctors in an area has been depleted, Hieb notes, it becomes harder to replenish the supply.

“In areas where fewer and fewer physicians remain, it is very difficult to recruit new physicians to the job – since the new docs do not want to be forced to cover impossible patient loads,” Hieb says. “Around the country, there are already these medical ‘black holes’ – areas without coverage for certain specialties.”
