For-Profit Bariatric Hospitals Hi. I'm studying healthcare administration in graduate school and I often ask myself how come there's not enough for-profit bariatric hospitals? For-profit hospitals tend to be more specialized and they cater to high-risk patients who pay more into their insurance plans. I wonder if there will be any for-profit bariatric hospitals? However, I wouldn't want to run one because it would look like a nightmare with all these landwhales reeing how expensive their copays are even if they have high-premium plans. Nonprofit hospitals tend to do general hospital care stuff but when it comes to patients with hard-to-treat conditions, they would refer them to for-profit hospitals where they are more specialized and efficient than nonprofit hospitals; generally speaking. I also learned that some states in America have banned for-profit hospitals and for-profit models since they want to make healthcare accessible and affordable for everybody. Sadly, such policies tend to lower the quality of healthcare leading patients to be transferred over state borders to other states. I often wonder how come we don't have enough for-profit bariatric hospitals? Texas is ripe for them since too many hospitals in Texas deal with obeasts as patients and if I was a healthcare administrator, I would find ways to have them transferred to other facilities that would cater more to their conditions to help alleviate financial burden and costs on my hospital. I think we need for-profit bariatric hospitals so nonprofit hospitals can send obeasts to them so healthcare workers don't have to deal with their constant bitching and whining. That way, we'll have healthcare resources saved up and easily allocated to other patients who really need care including the elderly. Your thoughts on for-profit bariatric hospitals? I don't want to start a business running for-profit bariatric hospitals since that's a nightmare for me even though that could help make lots of money off of obeasts.
