You are an administrator of a not-for-profit hospital in a community where a for-profit hospital has just merged with the other hospital in town. The for-profit has closed its emergency department to avoid the financial risk of having to care for uninsured patients. You anticipate that use of your emergency department will triple as a result. Your emergency department is already losing money, but you know this service is vital to meet community needs. What should you do?
