You act like this a conspiracy unique to NYU. Every hospital does everything possible to optimize their payer mix. Rural hospitals are failing left and right because their patients are shitty Medicaid payers. Then dems laugh because they didn’t graciously accept the Medicaid expansion.

We literally have a patient sitting in our ICU bed who has been here for 10 years. Not an exaggeration. Routinely common for SNF placement patients to sit here for months.

These patients are exploiting hospitals for millions and the government sits idly by since it’s the hospitals problem, not theirs. NYU has plenty of these patients.
