actually in effect. These health care systems know what their costs and revenues have been, are, and roughly what they will be next month/quarter/year/etc... And they are not going to wait until they actually incur voluminous losses and go bankrupt to shut down, they will shut down once the financial forecast is both untenable and inevitable.

One clinic in an R+74 community in Nebraska has already announced they will be closing due to the Medicaid cuts. More will follow. Such stories need to be harped upon.
