OTOH once the state gets involved then for some reason hospitals get specific functions, and specified treatments get allocated to specific hospitals. In my area if you needed cataract surgery you had to go to the Catholic Hospital. Part of the problem as I have seen it is in a city of 120,000 to have 2 hospitals and two complete hospital managements was counter productive. The costs to a public system, two purchasing departments, two accounting departments two of everything in a small city was just ridiculous. And since the top positions were for many years held by Priests, Hundreds of thousands of dollars flowed into the Roman Catholic Church in the way of publicly paid salaries. Paying for a hospital that exercizes it's religious principles on the public purse is not something I can support. As long as they are willing to be private hospitals not built on public capital I have no problem. We are building a new hospital to replace the present ones. It took several years to persuade the powers that be that building 2 hospitals that shared a parking lot was idiocy. All of course on the public dime.
