Hint Forbes is Highmark/AHN"They build hospitals where populations actually need them"??
I don't know about that one. I mean, did the Municipality of Monroeville and the surrounding eastern suburbs really need to have UPMC East built out there? I don't think so. There was already a fully functioning Level 2 trauma center (Forbes Regional Hospital) about 3/4 of a mile down the road from it, was UPMC East actually needed? I don't think that is why that hospital was built. I don't think that it had anything to do with healthcare of those living in that area, I think it all has to do with MONEY and how much more of it that UPMC wants to make off of those living in the Pittsburgh area.
East is UPMC
The VA isn’t for profit like those - it’s a nationalized healthcare system .
So the idea of moving it to the burbs is nonsense
No doubt the perverse and inefficient incentives for private insurers is silly .
But , that’s too hard to grasp for some -
Until their employer cuts their benefits to save money - so they instead blame the government ironically .
