Not entirely accurate. Public for profit hospitals have done poorly. “Not for profit” hospital conglomerates have done very very well. it’s just that they’re competing with businesses that don’t pay taxes on profit and pay less taxes on property among other incentives. privately owned hospitals are a mixed bag.
