I know it's small....for those interested, here's the article. http://www.kff.org/insurance/upload/Privatization-of-Public-Hospitals.pdf (please copy and paste). The overall decreasing trend reflects the # of public hospitals.
Public hospitals play a vital role in providing medical services to the poor and uninsured, serving as a health care safety net.
