Google: hospital in texas not paying nurses and doctors

Read the many pages and then weep! Is it everyone else in the country that knows Texas news and you don't when living in the state?
I see dozens of stories on the first five pages of that Google search and not a single one about a hospital in Texas not paying its nurses and doctors.
As I said above - the governor of Texas has made fighting the ACA his future - and he hasn't mentioned anything about any hospital in Texas being forced to stop paying due to ACA.
I don't like 'news' organizations who lie. I don't like people to accept irrational statements in e-mails and the 'press' which are blatant lies.
No, I don't like the way the ACA has been implemented. I really wish our governor had not turned down billions of dollars and refused to setup a good system to help the uninsured people in Texas.
The ACA isn't a great plan. It needs to be improved upon. And we need politicians who will work to make it better, unlike our dear Canadian Senator.
Now - I did do some research on my own into the subject.
The only hospitals I can find which didn't pay employees were the Federal Prison and VA hospitals during the government shutdown in October.
There were two hospitals I can find which closed in Texas in 2013. One in Terrell, and one Center. The Terrell hospital was closed by the state when their audits found several problems with patient care, no nursing supervision, many other issues. The hospital in Center was closed by the owner after the hospital was decertified for federal Medicaid and Medicare payments. Both hospitals were owned and operated by the same person, who was arrested and jailed for Medicaid and Medicare fraud at both hospitals.
I'll also give you the possibility that a google search is too general. All I ask is for the name of the hospital so I can find the truth about the information you posted.
It's a shame that implementing a state's Healthcare system is a partisan issue. A Republican Governor said it's a Democratic Presidents law-so I won't offer it to people who need it. Let the Feds deal with it.
It's too bad-really.
