That’s fine and dandy for small business, but in the health care industry it’s affecting us in a vastly negative way. The ACA is reducing federal funding and placing more of the financial burden on the hospitals, who in turn are dumping the costs on its employees: we’ve had massive layoffs, a huge hiring freeze, and our benefits are getting cut severely, all in the name of continuing our “excellent” level of patient care. Plus, it’s a Catholic hospital system, so naturally its religious goals are a higher priority than its health care goals, so it’s able to ignore the women’s health initiatives under the “religious nonprofit” loophole.
It’s funny that a health care conglomerate cares more about what their misguided view of Jesus thinks about what goes on between a woman’s legs than, you know, healing and helping people. And that it doesn’t extend its “excellent” level of patient care to its own goddamn employees.
