My local hospital just had a bit of a freak out a year or two ago, and laid people off, and cut back on services because they had a $13m salary shortfall. They are the busiest ER on the west coast. in 2019-20 (right before covid), they pad $140M cash for a new tower building, and they still have a $1B 'rainy day fund'.
