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.
Absolutely, positively the most likely scenario. But time will tell. The naiver posters on these threads believe that if there is an "overcharge", that money is just sitting in a drawer (or somebody's pocket). They have no concept of operational expenses
