I mean, isn't that entirely expected? If more care is needed, hospital revenues and profits increase, so executive gets bonuses?

- 000ooo000 3y agoTo have read the article and responded with such a simplistic assessment leaves me puzzled.
- readthenotes1 3y agoIt's still sad to see this level of exploitation while the pictures of corpses in trucks is still in memory. Of course, we still remember the governor of New York claiming that PPE was walked in the front door of hospitals and walked out the back door of hospitals by employees ripping it off...
- Eldt 3y agoWhen staffing and equipment levels take a huge hit, give large amounts of money to a small number of people rather than invest it in solving the major problems it's facing? That is profoundly stupid. So is running a hospital like a business.
- refurb 3y agoClearly those problems didn't impact hospital revenues, which increased dramatically leading to increased bonuses. And hospital who didn't pay out those bonuses had those problems as well.
- VagueMag 3y agoDid you read the article? Those problems didn't impact hospital revenues because they were handed billions in emergency funding from the government.
- refurb 3y agoRight, but they also used those revenues to treat Covid patients?
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoand then skimmed a large bucket for themselves. It's simple greed and profiteering. That's where the outrage comes from. And it was government (your) money.
- refurb 3y agoHow is it greed? The hospital did more services and received more income, thus the executives got bigger bonuses. I'm not sure it matters if the income was from the government, since 50%+ of all healthcare is paid by the government in normal times.
