Readers response to Providence hospitals operating in the red. After all the years of predatory behavior, there's no much sympathy for them. People tend to focus on executive salaries, which is not the problem. One problem is that the nurses are expensive. Yet they need the nurses, and because of they are in short supply, they have leverage. The reason why they can't get more nurses is that vry few want to move to Oregon, and Portland specifically. And their COVID policy of firing the unvaxxed is coming back to bite them. The other problem, of course, is the high Medicaid representation. Because Oregon is so poor now. Yeah, Dem policies are to blame ultimately.
