There are multiple reports of people who are showing up to protest distrusting the others who are showing up to protest because they believe they are FBI plants.

That's funny right there.

An Idaho hospital will stop labor and delivery services, citing doctor shortages and the "political climate," the hospital announced Friday.

"Highly respected, talented physicians are leaving. Recruiting replacements will be extraordinarily difficult," Bonner General Health, located in the city of Sandpoint, said in a news release.

Pregnant women who utilized Bonner General, a 25-bed hospital, will now have to drive to hospitals or birthing centers in Coeur d'Alene or Spokane to give birth.

It is a sad state of affairs and not just in Idaho. Worker (Dr's, Nurses and Specialists) shortages are everywhere, that is why traveling nurses get paid a ton of money to live for months in the middle of nowhere just to staff these hospitals.

Then the problem is they have to pay these people but can't afford the operating costs because most of the people they serve don't have insurance (never pay) or rely on medicare. In turn medicare is only going to pay so much to cover all the costs and even worse most of these hospitals can't modernize so the care given isn't even good.

Here is a good chart of rural hospital closures in the US:
