Hospitals have to be reject even more poor patients without insurance; at the same time federal law says that the same patients have to be treated but this involves huge costs for the hospitals.
Even more doctors want to go away and open their own facilities and this put in a big trouble the same hospitals: less revenues and more patients.
A bill was introduced to fix this situation but failed. The situation at end is not of quickly solution in the short period.
In this scenario hospitals have an handicap: they have to give assistance to the patients; on the contrary the private facilities do not have this duty
