AHA Ads Warn of Job Losses From Sequestration Cuts

The American Hospital Association will sponsor ads appearing this week on Politico.com warning that more than 766,000 jobs could be lost by 2021 as a result of the mandatory 2 percent cut to Medicare funding under the Budget Control Act of 2011, according to an AHA News Now report.

The ads also state that "one out of 5 news jobs created this year was in healthcare." When clicked, the ads lead readers to a report by Tripp Umbach on the impact of the Medicare cuts.
