Why aren't there facilities out there that just specialize in the elective surgeries and don't have ERs and other things that are money-losers?
Seems like you could provide all the money-making services without the money-losing ones.

But I wonder if the main sticking point may be access to an ER in case something goes terribly wrong during surgery. I know that gets used as a bludgeon against abortion providers, but I imagine the same basic regulations apply to any clinic offering surgical services.
