I think you are right. The only thing is that I think the community hospitals were bought up in the first place because they were having trouble staying afloat on their own. Some way would have to be found to keep them funded and innovative. This would be hard to do under a public funding system as such tend to become very beaurocratic and onerous. Funding by selling shares means accountability to the shareholders who would want a return for their support, which means a way would need to be found to earn a healthy profit while maintaining integrity and service to all patients.
