   #enshittification of “family” medical care.
   A local medical clinic chain in northern Colorado that used to be called Associates in Family Medicine got bought out a year or so ago by a national chain called Village Medical. As patients we noticed some longer delays, etc. but nothing critical. Last week they announced they were ending all #obstetrics care. All of it. Turns out AFM was the only part of the natl chain that still had it at all. Not any more.

     @qurlyjoe -- I'm in Denver. How I understand the situation is that faith-based hospital/medical groups are buying up medical services in places that have abortion rights like in Colorado.
     Colorado is one of the only one of seven states that have no restrictions on the right for an abortion (no time limit).
     So instead of changing the laws making it illegal, they simply make it UNAVAILABLE.

     Colorado will now make Catholic hospitals say what services they won't provide
