When even non-profit, state supported rely on and make decisions based on profitability, both patients and communities suffer the consequences: In Oregon, leaders warn crowded emergency room is hurting finances - “…the emergency department has become, in effect, an overflow inpatient unit for the hospital, with people needing care stashed in conference rooms, hallway beds and exam rooms.” https://www.opb.org/article/2024/04/21/ohsu-hospital-emergency-room-overcrowding/
