Have I stimulated your thoughts? How?

Some thoughts on non-profits
A potential solution to the problem of hospitals receiving low medicare reimbursement in low income areas would be fundraising. Here again they are at a disadvantage, due to the fact they have fewer wealthy people as a source for fund raising. Thus the low income hospital loses two ways: First, they have fewer private patients in order to make a profit, and fund raising opportunities are less because of the population they serve.
Bottom line, the private patient has to be overcharged in order to create a decent profit.
With universal health care, which Obama favors, there will be no more private patients. Therefore, who is left to “screw”, in order to make universal health care an economic success.
