Biblical Medicine? How Religious Corporations Are Gobbling Up Healthcare Facilities

[Freddie]

2. Their real mission is to line their pockets

And force their religions rules about reproductive health and end-of-life issues in all of us.
A good friend of mine is a labor-and-delivery nurse, loves her work. For 20 years she worked at a big-city Catholic hospital. While she did not agree with all their policies (they had to send postpartum women to another hospital for tubals), this hospital served a vital need in a very poor community. The maternity unit was almost always full.
Then the nuns who originally ran the hospital retired and it got taken over by Mercy Health, a big Catholic hospital chain. The bean-counters decided that they were losing $$ in the birth business and closed the maternity unit (after flat-out lying to the staff about their plans), forcing women without means to travel far for maternity care, not to mention the loss of jobs. How "pro-life" is that?
