Public Hospitals on Decline

The number of individuals in the US without health insurance is already ridiculously high. And many of these people rely on the public hospitals emergency rooms for there health care needs. Most hospitals are in low SES communities and provide access to health care for these low income families. Once again with the closing of the public hospitals we get a glimpse at the true character of our health care system. It is really disappointing that the health care system seems to be more interested in making money than in helping people. If public hospitals are being replaced by private hospitals than the uninsured will have less option of where to go for health care, putting them at a greater disadvantage than they already are.
