Private hospitals will shut down and stand down thousands of healthcare workers soon unless we pay them to stay open because COVID-19 has gotten rid of their profits.

The government temporarily banned elective surgeries (which are non-emergency surgeries) to stop the spread of COVID-19. Private hospitals make money off those surgeries.

So now… during a global health crisis where we need as many medical resources as possible to save lives… Private Hospitals want to close because there’s too many of the wrong type of sick people around - the type of sick person that isn’t profitable to treat. Why save lives when it costs money, you know?
