Providence was featured in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal this weekend saying the hospital is in the position of having to decide which patients live and which die, because it doesn’t have have enough ICU beds or staff.
Others have disputed that characterization, saying that Providence is firing all of its unvaccinated workers and replacing them with hundreds of workers whose salaries will be paid by taxpayers through FEMA, creating an extraordinary profit motive for the company, whose CEO Rod Hochman makes over $10 million a year for what is said to be a nonprofit organization.
