And just like that, a hospital in NE closes
This hospital is in Don Bacon's district, but it's also Fischer and Ricketts' state. If you're from NE, call them and tell them they've just harmed Nebraskans.

End snip.
I hope not, but this could be a domino effect in rural areas across the nation. Many rural hospitals no longer offer OB care. Now they will close altogether. This is hours long drives in Kansas and Nebraska. People will die on the way. Republicans don't care.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
