And another one bites the dust

Well that didn't take long. Monday it was movie ticket-takers, today it's pulse takers:

"The parent company of Reading Hospital, Reading Health System, laid off 210 employees today as part of a cost-cutting plan that also will eliminate an additional 181 jobs ... Hospital officials said the cuts are in response to changes in the national health care system, including cuts in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to hospitals."

The ObamaTax: the gift that keeps on giving taking.
