Lol a million? How can that possibly be enough? Every other hospital has way more than that in their rainy day fund / bank credit line. This is not to belittle

This is not to belittle PG (other rich people please follow!), but seriously this can't be meaningful.
- watwut 7y agoSome hospitals are already reporting that they wont have money for salaries and such in few weeks.
- H8crilA 7y agoI'm sure hospitals can arrange credit. It's one of the industries that will not be in a recession. And again, nothing to belittle PG, but $1M is nothing.
- stareatgoats 7y ago> $1M is nothing. Nothing it is not. It is something, and if the beneficiaries are limited (like hospitals in SF) it is certainly much more than something. Everyone needs to pitch in in order to get over this hump. PG pitched in $1M. Your contribution could be not to belittle his contribution, which you chose not to do, for reasons that are entirely unclear.
- masonhensley 7y agoPatients are starting to skip visits to GP’s and specialists for new and existing conditions bc of fear of catching covid. Elective procedures are postponed indefinitely. Procedures contribute a hefty chunk of revenue in healthcare. I’d be careful being absolutist with that comment. The cash flow of many hospitals is going to get strained at the very least in the near future if they aren’t billing for a large chunk of their services.
