__Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks agoI’ve been working in hospitals for 20 years and have seen our finances, they make very little profit on inpatient admissions, most patients are losses. Outpatient surgery and things like that are how they make money.
Take your number of 5.45 billion profit for the industry. There are 6100 hospitals in the US. That’s an average of $893,442 per hospital. That’s not a lot of profit.
