Big changes are coming to Buffalo’s healthcare scene—Independent Health is letting go of 59 employees as it tries to keep up with soaring drug prices and looming federal cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. The company says this move affects less than 4% of its staff and won’t impact customer service, but it’s a clear sign of the financial pressure facing local health plans. Those affected will get severance and support, but what does this mean for the future of healthcare jobs in our area? How are other local companies coping with these challenges? #Business #Buffalo #Healthcare
