Hospitals should contact local churches/benevolent agencies/individuals interested in WILLINGLY providing funds for those in need.

Doctors and Nurses can offer their services for free in on-site free clinics (like they do in soap operas).

Plenty of ways to take care of those in need.

Churches are getting out of the health care business.

The Catholic Church is dumping hospitals as fast as they can go. A combination of declining numbers of nuns to provide free labor, and constant harassment from Liberals in government about providing abortions and sterilizations.

From my experience ( anecdotal) the people who are needy are also the people you want to avoid as a health care provider. They are poor for a reason, due to drugs and other poor life choices. They tend to be high maintanence and demanding patients. It was rare to see a truly deserving poor patient. I remember those patients.
The only way to drop the price of health care is to stop all the regulations. Hospitals are so top heavy because they have to hire people to comply with the ever expanding regulations.
I recently had to sit through a mandatory inservice on fat shaming. Yup, doctors and nurses can no longer tell patients they need to lose weight. It might make the patient upset, they write poor performance evaluations on the hospital, and the hospital gets less reimbursement. That is also why you are seeing health care costs explode. No one wants to say NO to a patient- be it pain pills, antibiotics or an MRI.
