Hill–Burton Act

Mm-hmm.

And after the, the, the, the war, the Hill-Burton Act is, is providing all this money to rebuild these hospitals.

So if you're getting that money, you can't discriminate.

And so you get this case in Greensboro that complements Eaton's case, Simpkins versus Moses Cone, and they are proving in all these ways that you're getting this money, you're still discriminating, but here's what turns everything on its head, and it takes 10 years to do this.

No one's going into rural health to get rich.

So it's like, how do we make this work? And after World War II, the Hill-Burton Act, we as a country decided we weren't gonna have two health systems.

We weren't gonna have a healthcare in New York City or LA or Houston or Dallas or Chicago, and then everyone else was gonna be left to fend for themselves.

We developed the county-based health system that we have today Really purposefully.
