    I agree. we need universal healthcare. Obama could not get it through the Repubs and healthcare lobbyists. Yes, the ACA saved a lot of lives. https://www.iza.org/publications/dp/...ion-save-lives people who did not have healthcare now have it.

    I have an activist friend in St. Louis whose life was saved by the ACA. She had breast cancer.

    Some U.S. hospitals forced to ration care amid staffing shortages, COVID-19 surge

    Montana, Alaska, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Kentucky experienced the biggest rises in new COVID-19 hospitalizations during the week ending Sept. 10 compared with the previous week, with Montana's new hospitalizations rising by 26%, according to the latest report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Sept. 14.

    n Alaska, the influx is so heavy that the state's largest hospital is no longer able to provide life-saving care to every patient who needs it due to the influx of COVID-19 hospitalizations, according to an open letter from the medical executive committee of Providence Alaska Medical Center this week.

    "If you or your loved one need specialty care at Providence, such as a cardiologist, trauma surgeon, or a neurosurgeon, we sadly may not have room now," the letter read. "There are no more staffed beds left."

    The claim was always pure fabrication. But it's coming true now, specifically in COVID-stricken, and deep red, Idaho.

    Hospitals there have become so overwhelmed by COVID patients, almost all of them unvaccinated, that the state has activated its "crisis standards of care." What that means, according to the state Department of Health and Welfare, is that the normal triage standards, in which the more seriously sick or injured are prioritized, are thrown out.

    Instead, "someone who is otherwise healthy and would recover more rapidly may get treated or have access to a ventilator before someone who is not likely to recover."

    How tragic.

    Too bad Republicans are unmoved by it.

    The ACA funded city clinics that took people who had no health coverage. It got many people healthier and wiser about their physical problems.
    Trumpys want poor people to die.

    Slight clarification:

    These are for-profit Death Panels.

    There is just too much demand in Idaho for the "Dollar-Ectomy" business.

    They have to pick and choose to get the most cases and pass on the ones that eat up too much time.

    South Dakota had their big surge just after the Sturgis Bike Rally.

    Then, all the anti-helmet, anti vax bikers went back home to those States listed in your post.

    Now they are surging.

    Go figure.

    Such a mystery what's going on.

    They have the very mistaken belief that all you have to do is "get a job with health benefits," as if every employer everywhere offers that.
