The author presents the case for investor-owned hospitals based on his work experience in both nonprofit and for-profit hospitals. Viewing investor-owned hospitals as a natural development within a capitalistic democracy, he discusses the origins of the moral, ethical, and political arguments used against for-profit hospital care, as well as the increasing necessity for all hospitals to follow the laws of sound economic practice. Finally, having seen good and bad hospitals in every ownership category, the author believes that issues of cost and quality depend not on type of ownership, but on a complex set of variables including goals, management, personnel, and fiscal and physical resources.
作者基于其在非营利性医院和营利性医院的工作经历，阐述了投资者所有医院的情况。他将投资者所有医院视为资本主义民主制度下的自然发展，探讨了反对营利性医院医疗的道德、伦理和政治论点的起源，以及所有医院遵循合理经济实践法则的必要性日益增加。最后，鉴于作者在每种所有制类型的医院中都见过好的和不好的医院，他认为成本和质量问题并不取决于所有制类型，而是取决于包括目标、管理、人员以及财政和物质资源在内的一系列复杂变量。
