easy. let the scottish rite children's hospital, the shriner's hospitals, other not for profit hospitals, state hospitals, county hospitals, for profit hospitals, doctors, and families decide what is best for the situation and let them implement it.
this idea that the federal govt has to be involved at all is outrageous. get them OUT.
The answer is Do Nothing? How about this - is there anything to do to increase the nonprofit presence or county hospitals, etc? This was actually one of the plans on the table, but the general cry is all reform is evil. Every nonprofit facility I know of is suffering right now, not growing.
We have millions of working poor without insurance, and even middle class who have been worked out of the system for pre-existing conditions. The only solution to that is "leave em be?"
Expanding nonprofits was on the table

This is the cultural difference I think we both mentioned earlier. Some nations are ok with the community chipping in when they can and helping each other stay healthy and fed. Ours is not.
I think in many instances because they actively participate and define instead of just protest, they may not see their community programs as "them."
How many Shriners hospitals do you think there will be in 10 years compared to now?
