In the last big surge, hospitals were putting up tents and calling on National Gaurd ships for help. Potential elective surgery patients see the hospitals in the current hot spots that are in disarray and they say, "no way, I am NOT going". So they cancel their elective surgery. My point IS that all this emergency disarray caused by the vaccine refusers IS costing individual hospitals AND overall society tremendously. It even has large-scale effects on national strength and unity.
