Emory University Hospital is cutting 100 jobs and blaming it on Obamacare. [View all]
According to WSB channel 2 in Atlanta, Emory University Hospital is cutting 100 jobs all due to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
Channel 2 Action News has confirmed that more than 100 Emory Healthcare employees will lose their jobs, in part, because of the Affordable Care Act.
An upset viewer alerted Channel 2's Erica Byfield to the development.
A letter the viewer provided from Emory Healthcare's Chief Human Resources Officer reads, "This notice is to inform you that Emory Healthcare is restructuring and consolidating its Psychiatry Services Program."
A spokesperson from the health system confirmed the letter was mailed to 101 employees on Sept. 9.
The letter goes on to say leaders decided to close a neuropsychiatry unit at Wesley Woods Geriatric Hospital (WWGH) and consolidate two psychiatry units one of which is at WWGH and the other is within the Center for Rehabilitation Medicine for Emory University.
The furious employee asked not to be identified, but the employee did write a letter.
In part, it reads, "The saddest part is when during the announcement we were told our job loss is due to the new Affordable Care Act."
