What good is Medicare for All if Hospitals keep going bankrupt?
This one hits me closer to home, when my Grandparents were still alive they lived in Corning, Arkansas. Poplar Bluff was the closest city of ANY size to them(Corning had a population of under 5000 and I think I was related to a couple hundred of them - My Grandfather was one of eight and he and many of his siblings had similar family sizes. The youngest and last of his generation died earlier this week).

But I would imagine Medicare for All would be a godsend for rural hospitals - Medicare has much deeper pockets than just about any private citizen and doesn't try to find loopholes to avoid paying truly large bills like private insurers sometimes do.
