If the washingtonpost editors and reporters are worried about the spread of Catholic hospitals, they should expose how Obamacare and our COVID-19 response are driving other providers out of business, writes TPCarney.
Catholic hospitals, being Catholic, don’t abort the babies who come in through their doors. The people quoted in that Washington Post piece seem to think that they have a right to force Catholic hospitals to abort babies. It’s bizarre and intolerant.
Consolidation is bad, the story pointed out: “A 2012 report from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that when hospitals merge in highly consolidated markets, price increases often exceed 20%.” But that's not the only way Big Government has caused hospital consolidation. Obamacare played a huge role.
Scott Gottlieb explained last decade that provider consolidation is the “outgrowth of a deliberate industrial policy set in motion by changes in the way healthcare is being organized and reimbursed.”
