I disagree that hospitals are not affected by the economy because there are
87 million uninsured people in the system.

So, who is going to pay hospitals to keep the lights on?
Basically, there are not enough insured people and way too many uninsured people in the country. The math tells the story in which direction it is heading.
Hospitals are forced to close when they can no longer function financially. Many hospitals have already arrived at this point. Many more are getting there. Not enough money coming into the system to keep it sustainable. It's a matter of time.
