I doubt that, but since there is no such thing in this country as a hospital that doesn’t get taxpayer funding, it’s rather a moot point. The issue of government forcing all medical care under a socialist umbrella is what we should be worried about.
I think you've got that right, GovernmentShrinker.
It's impossible to get a state-issued license to operate if you have no ties whatsoever to either public funding or public regulation.
The only hospital I hever heard of in the USA that doesn't have public funding entanglement is the St. Rose's cancer hospital run by the Hawthorne Dominican Sisters in NYC. To this day the sisters do not charge their patients. They do not deal wiuth insurance. Nor do they rely on government support; they accept neither Medicare nor Medicaid. What they rely on is 100% private donations ---"what the mailman brings us every day," according to Sr. M. Joseph, administrator of St. Rose's.
