The bottom line is that plans are accepted that offer the highest reimbursement rates, or guaranteed fixed annual payments, which yield the highest profit margins that can be earned on the available existing facilities.

Overcrowding at medical facilities would be caused by a shortage of doctors, not a shortage of buildings.
