Here is the bottom line that many don't want to face. I know this because I have spent the last 7 years working in both county hospitals and now for a private hospital.
Private hospitals provide better care. People are paid better. Doctors are paid better. Facilities look nicer. Workers like it better.
Public/County hospitals can't do these things because they provide so much free care. People want less expense, but hospital/healthcare charges the ones who pay drastically more because of indigent care costs. Add to that the marketing that has to be done now because of "so" many choices.
It is exactly like the public/private school issue. You get what you pay for.
The system isn't broke, it is working exactly as a free market system is designed. If you have the $$$$, you get the better stuff. Why do you expect a Lexus when you have the budget of a Yugo?
