Topic	ICUs in Red States Are Nearing Overcapacity Due to COVID
Tyranthraxus 08/19/21 10:51:43 AM #32:	MaddenDude-- posted... No they aren't. Hospitals make bank with high turnover and surgeries. There's low turnover with covid. The same patients sit around in the icu for weeks. That's a financial disaster for hospitals, not to mention getting killed by less surgeries and procedures. Inpatient stays are like $1000 a day and it's probably a lot more for ICU. Obviously the most money comes from that $200,000 brain surgery where they send you home after a week but those are comparatively rare and I wouldn't discount there money to be made with long term stays. The problem is people aren't paying the bills for the care they get. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:957231597] in ICUs in Re...
