I wouldn't be too quick to assume anyone walked away with the money, although that is possible. I retired from a hospital that was historically comfortably in the black pre-COVID and post-COVID grossing more money than ever but still losing $2M/month in large part because locum expenses and government's continued bundling and payment reductions. Many in healthcare left during and after COVID because of burnout, COVID/post-COVID culture changes, skimping on staff because of personal shortages, consolidation with "stronger/bigger" hospitals with different priorities, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the money was burnt trying to keep operations running. But we'll have to wait and see.
