I am not trying to start any sort of political discussion. However, I do not think many of the layoffs that have hit healthcare workers are due to maximizing profits for hospitals nor due to the lack of demand for healthcare.

If I am not mistaken, the current administration has enacted changes that have caused a significant reduction in federal grant funding for hospitals. So, many of the layoffs, as I understand it, are to make up for the coming losses in funding.

I live in a state with plenty of rural areas. There are growing fears of some rural hospitals being forced to completely shut down due to funding cuts.
