My cynical nature over charities and donations

Actually they aren't.

I mean, there are government run hospitals, but most hosptials and adoption agencies in the US are run privately I believe.

Mostly because they are usually better run then the government run ones.

The only real exception are the Veterans Affairs hospitals, which are some of the best hospitals in the world.

However, those hospitals only got to be so good after decades of them being some of the worst hospitals in the country, culimating in a scandle where actual dead bodies were found in a VA hospital that were somehow just "lost."

 

Though actually, I don't know if the VA hospitals are still the best.   Afterall back when i researched them it was before Afghanistan and Iraq really were going.

The PTSD bombshell that's setting off and just massive influx of patients to VA hospitals... they might be doing horribly now.  With the large influx of patients and likely not an equal increase in budget.

 

Healthcare is just a messed up road of nonsense to be honest with you.  For example, Nonprofit insurance plans actually usually end up costing more then for profit ones and tend to have lower satisfaction ratings.  How that's possible, i'm not sure.

Well, in Romania most of the hospitals are run by the Government, though they're all terrible (mainly due to the fact that the Government's corrupt and incomeptent, but that's not the case in other countries, and because doctos are sadly a self regulating body, and quoting Mad Men, "doctors don't say bad things about eacthother"). I could tell you stories... but I won't because I don't wanna think about them, they make me sick to my stomach. Still, hospitals are not run by charity organisations, no? And I'm pretty sure even private adoption agencies need Governemnt approval (else it would essentially be human trafficking).
