It’s a disappointing article after a terrific lead-in: I thought it was going to be about how ED’s really are stretched tight, but turned into a funding problem piece (which is still very important), but the lead-in is misleading.
OTOH, it proves their point: saying there’s an ED crisis is now so cliche it’s used as a lead-in for other stories.

This is happening under the radar but it is really important. There is potential for a loss of millions of disproportionate share dollars from the hospitals with the thinnest margins. Grady may well shut down as a result, and there are other county hospitals across the country which are in a similarly tenuous financial position. when they go under, who’s going to pick up the burden of all those indigent patients?
