How can that be? Aren't the buildings paid for yet? Where I live, all hospitals are "non-profit". Are the nurses striking because they make too much? Where does the money go?
Profit is such a waste (if you don't understand our economic system). Remove the profit and you remove the greed. Why should anyone profit over someone else's misfortune?
Of course the answer is that all the alternatives to a 'profit' based investment system are worse. Everything under government subsidy and government control costs more, performs worse.
"Public employees in California saw premiums increase 11% this year, largely because of rising prices"
Total government control and this is what they do with it??
Meanwhile, what have all these government-owned, government-run entities done to innovate lately?
"Surging Hospital Prices Are Helping Keep Inflation High
A 7.7% increase in prices at hospitals last month was the highest in 13 years"
Did care get 20% better under Biden? Are outcomes better? Or are costs just higher?
Don't we have lower cost doctors and nurses surging across our southern border, or are we importing the wrong kind ofworkers, uh, welfare recipients?
