This is a situation where the local government needs to just step in and take control of the hospitals for the time being. Isnt Houston one of the areas where hospitals are overflowing already, too?

Ok this is awful but you have to wonder how a hospital ended up with over a million in unpaid rent fees. What happened for things to get to this point? I doubt someone just callously decided to shut down a hospital without warning, or that no one in the board would have seen this happening.
Not meaning to defend wreckless capitalism here but if you run a private business and you are contractually obligated to terms and you renege on those terms for over a year, like what should happen? I'd want to know what was the lead up to this event. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!

Generally speaking, locking people out is illegal without following a specific court-involved procedure and timeline. But since the story is from Texas who knows...

I doubt someone just callously decided to shut down a hospital without warning, or that no one in the board would have seen this happening. With the stories that hospitals were laying off nurses and doctors even in the middle of the pandemic because they weren't making any money from things like elective surgeries (because they weren't allowed) I can see how this could crop up. --- ...

My bet is the owners relied on "No one is going to shut down a hospital in the middle of a pandemic, no one's that evil!" and in doing so proved that some people are that evil and they fucked all their staff and patients over.

Maybe lots of people did bad things in the lead up to this, maybe it was an oversight or misunderstanding. But only one actor prevented doctors and patients from accessing a hospital during a pandemic, and that's the landlord. And we shouldn't have a system where that's even remotely possible.

If this ones closed then can just drive to another.
