> Healthcare as a whole baffles me. They pay well enough, sometimes, but they also just treat their employees like absolute crap. Would it really break the bank to hire 25% more staff instead of having your entire workforce getting paid overtime week after week?

Them stocks gotta to up, mang.

Take a look at the Fortune 500, and look at how many healthcare companies are publicly traded and in the top 100.

I think your point is valid and worth looking into - there are also many non profit hospitals in the same situation. That being said, I'm sure it's part of the equation, but I'm not 100% convinced everything can be blamed on Wall St with this one.
