This seemed like a lobbying piece by the health care industry.  They say it's up to the government to "incentivize" hospitals to create more quality care opportunities for pediatric patients by pouring more money into a system that rewards administrators and stockholders.  They even make a pitch for specific legislation their lobbyist helped draft. "Non-profit" is not the answer--while focusing on Yale New Haven Hospital, the video fails to note this tax exempt "non profit" institution pays 19 executives over $1 million a year each, including two who make over $4 million per year.  The 34 most highly compensated employees received $42 million in compensation in 2020.  Unless and until our government decides that quality health care is a basic human right, the current system will continue to fail many, many Americans who are not in a position to profit from it.
