*'''Thinking about some of news that ER's are empty in combination with the fake pics media is trying to push, but had another thought, what if Hospitals are also undergoing a Stress Test in an effort to weed out the good from the bad, many Hospitals will state they are rated in a top range percentage, but who or what decides that? In addition since the implementation of Obama Care, health care industries have been effectively monopolized in that they may operate under different names but they are owned by one corporation. Thinking this could be an effort to clean this mess up in favor of a health care system that works for everyone.
