Having anyone's freedoms dependent on available hospital capacity is a terrible way to run a society.
You should note that government regulations are designed to keep hospitals running nearer capacity. See "certificates of need", which are (in most places) required to get authorization to build a new hospital. You've got to prove to the gov't that a new hospital really is necessary. And thanks to regulatory capture, the tendency is for existing providers to try to sink such applications.
