A ransomware attack hit SMP Health in 2021. The attack halted the hospital’s ability to submit claims to insurers, Medicare or Medicaid for months, sending it into a financial spiral, Burt said.

So, they struggled to handle this for two years before they finally shut down.

Well Today they do zero surgeries because their financial trouble shut them down

So again, distinction without difference

> Well Today they do zero surgeries because their financial trouble shut them down

You are ignoring all the lives they saved in the intervening two years.

> So again, distinction without difference

Nonsense.

This ransomware attack happened in 2021, and they were unable to bill Medicare and insurers for months. This is just like any other hospital closing for financial reasons
