Yes. Massachusetts has been having trouble with hospitals recently though, after thee Steward Health Care fiasco that caused the death of a new mother at St. Liz's in Brighton. Many patients of six different area hospitals had to get their care somewhere else, because Steward hospitals weren't authorized to pay vendor bills and Steward stopped paying them. So vendors (including agency-contracted nursing staff) stopped supplying those hospitals, leaving them without supplies, staff, or any way to acquire them. St. Liz has a new name but it was St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Everyone just called it St. Liz.
In any case - the Steward situation had been going on for years during the 2000's and they finally had to give St. Liz's over to BMG when the state took it through eminent domain. That happened only a year ago and the Boston hospitals are still recovering from the debacle.
