Somehow the people in that town need to get this message, but I fear they wont hear a word of it on any of the media they consume.
"They blame Trump"
No, they didn't. The medical facility didn't blame trump, the article didn't blame trump, and there's no proof that any of the citizens blame trump.
This is actually what the article says:
Curtis Medical Center to close after 30 years, citing inflation and uncertain federal funding
And then, later in the article it mentions how there's supposedly $50 billion coming from the feds to assist rural providers, and how disappointing it is that they've made this decision before the federal aid has been finalized.
This is being portrayed as a business decision to close this town's only healthcare facility. Anyone reading the article would have to believe that trump has anything to do with inflation or cutting funding, and a community that has over 85% of their people voting for trump doesn't believe that.
"Something is eating my face but it's definitely not the leopard I voted for, it's all business as usual!"

74-point margin
Why not just say 86% Trump? Much easier.
(Harris 13 %, others 1 %, as per Frontier County results of 1413 votes)

This is the second time that I've heard of this place.
The first time, it was a story about how the community was struggling to keep their young from leaving, and having a hard time attracting new people to move there.
No one wants to stay, and no one wants to move into a community crawling with awful people.
This looks so, so good on them.
Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

It's not just Trump.
The GOP could stop all of this tomorrow.
That needs to be hammered into their stupid skulls until it sticks.
Been saying, we need to stop talking about Trump and point fingers at the GOP, GOP, GOP did this.

Honestly, while I am also enjoying the schadenfreude, this seems like a prime opportunity for leftists to do some de-radicalizing. Bernie should head out there and talk to folks.

I got $100 that they're blaming Democrats for the closure.
Man, I never get what I vote for. I am so jealous of them!
They never imagined that the leopards would eat their faces!
I think it's great when people get what they want. Congratulations to them.
So x + (x+74) = 100 which means 2x = 26 -> x = 13
They voted non-Trump 13% and Trump 87%?

It’s a good sign that these idiots are blaming him but I still feel no sympathy
They are not blaming him, the care facility is. This doesnt mean a single one of them will believe it was his fault.

Sow, then reap. This is the way.
The world's smallest violin would play for them, but it doesn't give a fuck either.
Have the day you voted for, idiots.
At least there is SOME heartwarming news popping up.
This is tragic not heartwarming. Yes they brought this upon themselves but let us not celebrate the suffering of others.

A big effect of comming ACA premium changes, is instead of paying $10k more per year, people dropping their insurance, using less medical care, until it is something major that results in their bankruptcy. People's mass medical related bankruptcies cause hospital bankruptcies/closures, as does less "routine" medical use.
Having a day they voted for.
Simple, they don't have a hospital because the hospital closed?
Just open the hospital again!
What you can't find a doctor to work at the hospital? Just offer to pay more than other hospitals! Easy!
See, all you need is money!
I feel bad for those who didn't vote for him.
Sucks to suck
> Shoots myself in the foot
> "How could Joe Biden do this?!!"
Curtis is a small town of 900 people
So, they don't really matter when the state of Nebraska broke 60/40 Republican for ten years running
What does matter is that 86% of the voters there actively voted FOR this. Realistically, the majority probably didn't care enough to vote against it, but of those that voted, 86% are fine with this happening to them.
They’re not fine with it happening to THEM. It was only supposed to happen to OTHER PEOPLE.
