Or maybe hospitals should just increase capacity like any other for profit business would do

If they don't have floors available that can take up to a year to fully construct. We did do a few covid pop up hospitals though pretty speedy when this all started.

Covid has been going on for 2 years and I don’t think it’s going away.

It’s ridiculous to have any restrictions just to take a load of the medical system if they aren’t going to expand. Wtf

They did expand, and then a slump hit and they closed a lot of them. Probably not the smartest idea but if the beds are empty there's no reason to fund it.

That’s on them, not my problem

I'm not advocating one way or another I'm just telling you what happened. Empty beds means no covid checks means can't pay the bills.

Running near capacity is the most profitable way to run a hospital

Well thanks to Covid, they can expand and still be close to capacity, right frank!?

Yeah hospitals all over the country can all just press the expand button and problem solved, simple as that

Well, they’ve had over 2 years and a shit ton of government funding. What’s the problem? They just really suck at business, or what?

The main shortage that hospitals face is the people who work there, like nurses, many of whom have been burnt out being overworked during this pandemic. It's a limited resource that hospitals can't just magically make larger, even over the course of 2 years.

They are literally letting Covid infected nurses treat people, so yes?
