Capital Fueling Hospital Expansion Boom
When financial capital evaporated during the recession, most healthcare organizations chose to put their new construction and renovations on hold. While hospitals may yet find it hard to afford these projects, no longer can they afford to wait.
Seems strange for hospitals to expect employers to just continue paying for all this expansion. Hospitals certainly don't expect Medicare and Medicaid to help out even with a huge expansion in the Medicaid program. At some point employers will say enough is enough. There are plenty of facilities overseas providing first class care to meet demand.
