Hospitals in urban areas are the demonstrators for the dysfunction of socialism.
Cash-only membership-based hospitals are the only possible facility-based solution.
They must have the fortitude to turn away sick and injured people who are not members.
From the socialist governments perspective, these must be outlawed.
There is no middle ground possible.
If you’re not a member of a private hospital you will die in the public hospital waiting room (assuming you can fit into the waiting room) when sick or injured - unless through random chance a public hospital, if one is even available, manages to keep you alive.
The news reporting writes itself. A sick illegal immigrant child dies at the door of a private hospital and will be extensively reported using a guided checklist of guilt, self-loathing, and class envy. The 3 dozen who die in the public hospital waiting room at the same time will go unreported.
I’ve been following this debacle (I know somebody who works there).
This hospital is just the first domino. With them closing their trauma facility, the shot up gang bangers will just get redistributed to other Philly hospitals, who will then experience more financial difficulty. Until finally the whole system collapses.
