He's raising the point like it was vulture venture capitalists that swooped down, bought up assets, and then closed them down. The fact is that they stayed in business another 6 years after the purchase, trying to keep the systems up and running. Clearly to no avail. Very few rural hospitals are private as it is (roughly 1/6, IIRC).
I'm not capable of getting my head so far up my ass that I can see things from your point of view.
One just tried to get running in Georgetown and failed. It was a for-profit from Ooglethorpe Corporation and they have a few successful ones here. It was gonna open for the longest time, because for about 2 years i would get visits from their liasion seeking referrals for when they were to open.
Georgetown is a shitty smaller ohio city and that whole side of the state has been destroyed by heroin, and this place would have offered dual diagnosis treatment, which is hard to find.
But they couldn't do it.
I know it is a for profit hospital and for profit hospitals and non private hospitals are a little bit different but they still face the same struggles they still have to be saw that they still have to overcome the same barriers..... For profit hospitals have it easier because they could be selective with their patients.... Non profits have many more patients though because they take medicare and medicaid but can't say no to provide life sustaining care.... Not profit hospitals take care of more people for less money essentially, but a lot of that is public money.
