      As rural hospitals shut down (due to lack of federal funding) they are being BOUGHT up by private corporations and LEASED back to the federal government (federal funding).

      It’s a LOT more money and it’s NOT going to the hospital.

      Most prisons in the US are actually not privatized, although this is a bit of technicality as government-run prisons tend to have privatized a lot of their functions, like “catering” (lol) and guards etc.
