Do safety net hospitals exist outside of the US?

It is not clear from the article whether the concept of a safety net hospital exists outside of the US. If it doesn't, then the introduction should make it clear that the concept is one that is only used in the US. If it does, then the article needs to be expanded to cover other countries.

This research article has some important information about safety net hospitals. Will add to the current financial issue that pertains to these hospitals and how as a result, a good number of these hospitals have already shut down due to a lack of funding. In addition, this study predicts the future of the safety net hospitals based on proposed budget cuts and previous years' of Medicare Hospital Cost reports.

I would also go into how many of these hospitals there are, and where they are located. Is it mainly urban or rural locations? This also may be a good place to talk about 340b pricing and link to the 340b pricing wiki article. -Ling

History edits

I wasn't entirely sure how to approach citing this section. I was just continuously adding my sources whenever I saw fit in order to reassure people that I was channeling my information from a concrete source. I also tried my best to be chronological, but if anyone would like to do a massive correction of my historical analysis, that would be greatly appreciated. This edit was included to mainly track what led to the creation of the safety net hospital. The history isn't the most concise. 73.93.140.126 (talk) 06:24, 7 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|73.93.140.126 (talk) 06:26, 7 November 2018 (UTC)]] comment added by Dlarrysa (talk • contribs) 01:20, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Group 28 Edits

1. Does the draft submission reflect a neutral point of view? If not, specify… The draft does provide a neutral point of view. Necessary information was added to give readers a brief history of how safety net hospitals came about, and their transition from religious funding to for-profit organizations with no support of either method. In later paragraphs, factual information was presented with an unbiased perspective for the reasons of hospital closures, their operating margins, and the effect of AHCA on safety net hospitals.--Ssrashidi (talk) 16:58, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

2. Are the points included verifiable with cited secondary sources that are freely available? If not, specify… From looking at the article, the new points included seem to be correctly cited with secondary sources. These secondary sources are easily accessible as well. --Jtruong93 (talk) 17:43, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

3. Are the edits formatted consistent with Wikipedia’s manual of style? If not, specify… Section organisation is good, article begins with an introductory lead section. Citations are correctly made (after punctuation). Some titles are a bit long, and can be more concise.--CarolinaRyklansky (talk) 17:47, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

4. Is there any evidence of plagiarism or copywright violation? If yes specify.. After an extensive review of the edits made, there does not appear to be any major or direct plagiarism that occurred. New and edited texts were tested through online plagiarism checker that yielded the only result as the original wiki page that the content was added, indicating no plagiarism was found. However, when checking through the sources, information cited under source 6 could not be found. It could just be me not being able to find the information, but I did not find information on the statistics of "43 million uninsured", "29 million underinsured" "65.2". I think this information might have been found in another source instead. Additionally, the Rural Health Centers section may benefit from rephrasing as it appears similar to the original text. The edits do not seem to have any copyright issues. --Andy M Nguyen (talk) 10:15, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Group 21 Peer Review

1. Does the draft submission reflect a neutral point of view? If not, specify…

Yes, the edits made to safety net hospitals, including addition of finance/funding (how they became a for-profit hospital), history, and important information about safety net hospitals, such as their timeline in terms of hospital operation, were done in neutral language with no evidence of bias or opinion. Tandenise (talk) 17:59, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

2. Are the points included verifiable with cited secondary sources that are freely available? If not, specify…

Yes most points are verifiable with cited and available source, however source 7, under financing a safety net hospital, says page cannot be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arh286 (talk • contribs) 21:05, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

3. Are the edits formatted consistent with Wikipedia’s manual of style? If not, specify…

Capitalization and grammar follow Wikipedia:Manual of Style convention; however, symbols and punctuation may need to be corrected. For example, when writing numerical values that are percents it is recommend to write them in the follow formats: 3%, three percent, or three per cent. The convention consists of both the number and the percentage in symbols (3%) or spelled out entirely (three percent), but not mixed (3 percent). In addition, there are many parenthesis that can be replaced with other punctuation, such as commas, to better convey the writer's ideas and improve the flow of information.

4. Is there any evidence of plagiarism or copywright violation? If yes specify...

I thoroughly reviewed the literature cited in the sections posted by the group, copy and pasted into google a few phrases and used a plagiarism checker, and I haven't seen any blaring instances of plagiarism. I would advise the group to thoroughly review the document to verify that they have adequately paraphrased and cited all of their sources. ikozache — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ikozache (talk • contribs) 05:35, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Safety net hospitals under the Trump Administration

This entire paragraph now reads as dated using speculation that never happened: PPACA was not repealed. Can someone rewrite this? There may be some direct/indirect connection to mandate changes that could be explored. ModernLA (talk) 03:41, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
