The House approved another relief bill Thursday that includes an additional $75 billion for hospitals. HAP is a non-profit membership services organization that represents over 240 member hospitals. The organization said the financial trouble is “a result of the cancellation and delay of all non-emergent procedures and precipitous declines in patient volume resulting from forgoing care.” ABC Newsmedical professionals are concerned people with serious non-coronavirus conditions may be staying home rather than going to the hospital for fear of contracting the virus.

Hey ABC! Who killed Jeffrey Epstein? Georgie Stephanopoulos knows!
that's awful 😰
Probably his golden crapper as his favorite reading place
wishing the financial future of the 1% was in jeopardy instead.
Health systems, world wide, even the socialist system of Europe have been decimated. No system was spared
Are there also huge layoffs in the military? No? So, that's more important to US Govt than immediate needs of its citizens, who actually pay for all that... Priorities, eh?
Watch as Americans bail out the health care system with high taxes.. The taxes they didn't want to pay when it was for health care
Why is it, we WERE told the OBJECTIVE WAS to flatten the curve, we not only FLATTENED THE CURVE, BUT SMASHED IT, YET we are told, NO, YOU CANNOT go back to work, school or ANYTHING ELSE in MANY STATES, AGAIN, WHY THE HELL IS IT? Also NO ELECTIVE SURGERY KAG
If we believe our healthcare system is at least as important as our military defense system, then financial viability of either is never a question. The USA is the worlds number one weapons dealer and the worse at ensuring the welfare of its citizens.
So ERs & med-surg units are fully staffed & nurses/ass'ts aren't pulling double shifts or OT? Who knew there were that many tied to elective surgeries...? If hospitals need money, maybe it's time for overpaid CEO/COO/CMO/CFO & other admins to take salary cuts.
China is to blame for any US deaths

But jurisdictions are not willing to cut their wasteful spending to support these organizations and its workers
National Healthcare systems can handle pandemics. For profit healthcare systems only protect the rich...
Thanks China
See Dr. Birx's reaction to Trump's dangerous suggestion
That's what happens when you tell people they can't work. It hasn't hit my county, but nurses can't get enough hours due to slow business.
Mr. Trump, when is the end of Corona? Are you qualified to run the administration? Millions of people are unemployed and may become homeless.The most important concern is repentance to regain power!
The flu is devastating then as well.
I dont understand laying off medical personnel in the middle of this PANDEMIC
What? An empty bed? Figured patients would be piled on top of each other and lined up in the hallway. Aren't hospitals flooded with patients?
Your news department operate like bomb throwers in a crowded movie theater. Enough already with all gloom and doom scenarios . Enough . Enough . Enough.
Lier
Still hasn't equaled the purposeful destruction of humans from last year. Got a few million to go to get to that level of human devastation.
Yea because idiots shut down all other healthcare in this country
No profit in coronavirus...
