Can’t they park a hospital ship close by a lot cheaper??????? 50 mil a bed? Sounds like someone is getting too rich off the project.
Less expensive than a hospital ship, just for islamo-terrorists would be an Army portable field hospital— we have lots of them, and can fly one in— just fine, with surgical suites, recovery beds, etc. Don’t need a damn hospital with only 5 beds. Aside from the added cost to bring in the materials to build it, a commercial “walk in” clinic wouldn’t begin to approach this amount in the US, built from scratch.
You’re right.
