agreed. it is amazing how stupid these people are. everyone knew there were going to be three huge problems for hospitals.
1) an increase in costs due to preparing for the virus. even if they did not believe they would be hit hard, they had to prepare. expensive.
2) they had an increase in uninsured showing up in their hospitals, due to job losses, or just people who had no health insurance but showed up in the er with "symptoms" they though were coronavirus. expensive
3) they were told to pay for the preparation and uninsured but couldn't operate. no income to pay for all the costs.
and the government had money for the kennedy center and other pet projects but ignored the hospitals, except for those with large cases of coronavirus.
