Wealthiest Hospitals Got Billions in Bailout for Struggling Health Providers

Source: NYT

Twenty large chains received more than $5 billion in federal grants even while sitting on more than $100 billion in cash. 

A multibillion-dollar institution in the Seattle area invests in hedge funds, runs a pair of venture capital funds and works with elite private equity firms like the Carlyle Group. 

But it is not just another deep-pocketed investor hunting for high returns. It is the Providence Health System, one of the country’s largest and richest hospital chains. It is sitting on nearly $12 billion in cash, which it invests, Wall Street-style, in a good year generating more than $1 billion in profits. 

And this spring, Providence received at least $509 million in government funds, one of many wealthy beneficiaries of a federal program that is supposed to prevent health care providers from capsizing during the coronavirus pandemic. 

With states restricting hospitals from performing elective surgery and other nonessential services, their revenue has shriveled. The Department of Health and Human Services has disbursed $72 billion in grants since April to hospitals and other health care providers through the bailout program, which was part of the CARES Act economic stimulus package. The department plans to eventually distribute more than $100 billion more.

Unemployment is paid by the state and funded thru employers. ( in some states employees pay a very small amount ) THis was federal. I don't need my rates going up . 

But it should have been just unemployment ( financed thru the feds) and low or no interest loans to business's

no the feds did not need to be involved at all . at min the feds could have mandated that UI could not count workers collecting  on biz owners points . but even that is overreach .

all just bullshit we have mandatory unemployment insurance program  you have to be in if you have workers . if you are 1099 then you need a nest egg . end of story .

but the biggest scam part is states picking winners and losers bunch of bullshit . I wish they all would get covid and die a slow painful death
