While the hospitals likely to close are disproportionately in red counties, they are not alone. Taos is on the list.
It looks like Clovis/Portales may be hit the highest, as they have 3 on the list. I have no idea how many they have total. And Roswell has two.
@nokturne213 A State solution is needed. No one should have their hospital closed because of national ideology. This is what happens when a party goes with national issues at the expense of local issues. The NM government has been pushing medical infrastructure, perhaps those state reproductive centers should have GP added? States have had government solutions in the past. In the 1980s when I lived in the Dakotas. ND had its own bank for farmers, SD had its own cement plant for development.
