Almost all of the cases are in the Detroit area. When you start getting further north you see numbers like 60, 45, 9, 1 cases per county. So maybe some hospitals in Detroit are inundated, but that's not indicative of "Michigan hospitals."
So, take Crawford County, with a whopping 16 cases. Grayling Hospital, associated clinics, annexed cancer center, associated doctors' offices, etc. are essentially shut down and empty. "Michigan hospitals are full but losing money" is a total horseshit statement from lying media.
The same thing is happening in New York. Hospitals upstate are discussing layoffs because elective surgeries were all cancelled and there aren't enough coronavirus patients to fill those beds. Most of the people that have gotten coronavirus have stayed home
And btw, the article says that McLaren Medical Group is laying off 500 - that system is state-wide. I'd be willing to bet a lot that their Petoskey hospital, with Emmet County's 21 cases of WuFlu, is not full, but is definitely losing money.
So, you can believe whatever you'd like. But visit a state-run or non-profit facility and then a for-profit and you'll feel the difference. Luckily we have actual facts that support for-profit hospitals provide a better levels of care.
(Note: If you're referring to the fees, the schedule of fees, how things are managed, that's an entirely different issue and has much more to do with the litigious nature of our society over the last 35 years and not the level of care received).
I live in a small town with a major hospital, it is a non profit. Non profit doesnt mean theres no profit, it means you have to launder the profit. I have a friend who is in the process of seeking whistleblower status to bring some of there double billing practices out in the open. They have been charging surgery carts to all patients, then the materials aren’t used, they return them to inventory.
In a non profit, thats what they call a “cost savings”. So why would prince harry, whos looking for a way to support his family in the US, want to start a non profit as he has claimed? How does one support their family on a non profit? Why do politicians all have a non profit?
You wanna know whats funny? My local non profit hospital has a massive, very cushy, high end, administration building, its probably a fourth the size of the main hospital. And keep in mind, half the main hospital is mid level admin. So where is this massive elaborate admin building where the elite admin lives? 5 miles from the main hospital, tucked away on a high security campus, where they can avoid sny scrutiny. Almost nobody even knows it exists. You would think it was a CIA installation by looking at it. They dont want the rank and file seeing how they live (they live like kings).
Non-profit means they don’t have shareholders or offer stock. Moneies that would normally be distributed to shareholders as profit instead are typically placed into an endowment where they can ensure the continuity of the business.
It doesn’t mean they don’t pay employees (sometimes excessively in the case of hospital management) or have bad billing practices.

Hospitals make money off ortho and cardio, which subsidizes everything else. Which is bullshit.
Reimbursement rates are set by CMS and copied by all insurers. This situation was created by the government.
Studies show that for-profit hospitals have

Non profit, hahahahaha!

They just don’t have shareholders.
