One person raised a good point - why is there a bailout for the big companies but none for hospitals?

Don't judge me unless you have looked through my eyes, experienced what I have and cried as many tears as me.  Until then back off, cause you have no idea.

In our area, there is a major hospital that has spent the last decade or more building more and more extension and specialist centers in our city's North End. the area used to be full of factories for manufacturing, all of which is now gone. As this hospital keeps expanding, many other local small hospitals are struggling to stay open, just like St Vincents...It's another sad reminder of the times - the 1% who own and control everything keep getting bigger and richer, and it seems EVERYTHING else is falling apart as that happens...Kinda sucks!  Sad
