There is a bright side
At least in 2013 with everyone required to have insurance there will be no need for County/Community/State-Fed Hospitals/Clinics etc.
For example in Chicago, Stroger (formerly Cook County) hospital has to be worth over a billion and could save county taxpayers (as of 2011) $433 million/year based on budget but actually $93 million (the shortfall). Therefore using the ten year Obama standard and selling the facility to a private corporation (Advocate?)the county will save almost $2 billion. With just over 1.1 million households the savings/rebate on the yearly property tax bill should be about $1,100 the first year and $93 dollars every year after.
This is just one hospital among three others not to mention all of the clinics both city and county sponsored. Imagine the facilities and savings nationwide?
