The state of Pennsylvania is very interesting. Many rural hospitals cannot afford to treat patients like this. And many of those hospitals have closed or were bought by VCs or larger hospital systems. The hospitals that have closed have left communities without access to healthcare. And this is a huge problem. This also opens a much larger conversation about why healthcare in the US depends on making a profit. I will not discuss that because it is extremely complicated.
The city of Philadelphia; however, has many big name, big money hospitals affiliated with universities where their mission to help people who need help. And they raise a lot of money to help the communities they service.
I would gladly pay more taxes to help humans keep their health. I don’t care about citizenship. We as a people are only as strong as our weakest people. And everyone deserves to be treated with compassion, regardless of boarders.
