Recent reports are emerging detailing the potential number of hospitals that face closure all over the country.
According to data collected by the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform, over 500 rural hospitals in the U.S. were already at immediate risk levels of closure prior to Covid-19 being declared a pandemic.
The report states that over 25% of rural hospitals across 22 states were at immediate risk before the declared pandemic.
These hospitals had a cumulative negative total margin over the most recent three-year period, and their financial situation has likely deteriorated because of the pandemic.
Currently, a total of 897 hospitals across the United States – roughly 40% of all rural hospitals in America – are at immediate or high risk of closure.
The more than 300 hospitals at high risk closure either have low financial reserves or high dependence on nonpatient service revenues such as local taxes or state subsidies, according to the report.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
I have two perspectives on this:
Firstly, it is no secret that The WinePress and myself are very much opposed to the practices preformed in these hospitals. The hospital fees for the care that is provided is nothing short of highway robbery and theft; and many of the treatments do not help anyone. The WinePress continually advocates to learn to be self-sufficient and seek to God’s creation for healing. (Psalms 104:13-17; 1 Timothy 5:23; Ezekiel 47:12).
The other perspective, from a purely economic standpoint, is, what is going to happen to these jobs if these hospitals close? These hospitals employ a lot of people, and the additional benefits the staff utilize. Not only that, where will the masses go when they seek care? Especially with the coming trauma and destruction (far greater than now) that is on the horizon?
This demonstrates the fragile and precarious state of the economy. The WinePress has reported different times that the U.S. was not doing well as it had been reported by the mainstream media, economists, and politicians. When the governments then decided to impose their draconian overreach on the people and businesses, this has just buried many of them.
Many of you may remember when the lockdowns occurred, the hospitals we were all told were flooded, but laid barren with workers left nothing to do. Many hospitals across the nation are in the same predicament. Simply put, no revenue means no business.
The WinePress needs your support! If God has laid it on your heart to want to contribute, please prayerfully consider donating to this ministry. If you cannot gift a monetary donation, then please donate your fervent prayers to keep this ministry going! Thank you and may God bless you.
On a plus side I guess, these devils have also shot themselves in the foot with their medical establishments which are somehow controlled by the vatican. It’s like a two-edged sword. The health care system has been infiltrated by the vatican, and while I think some things are necessary especially trauma care, what they dished at us also smacks them back somehow.
With a prayer war getting waged on this, things for these tyrants and politicians are about to get worse!
Agreed.
