I work for Jefferson. I don't think there is an appetite to buy it. We are absorbing so much already as it is. I wouldn't rule it out down the road.
Problem is that Hahnemann is a money loser. It will always be, because it will always serve the "underserved." That is both why it is crucial and why it won't be profitable. A hospital of this nature will always require state funding, and is more of a public service.
Anyone could run this place with state funding, the state needs to step up. Would probably cost them 20 million a year, however it would serve thousands annually. Its actually a good investment and the exact type of public/private arrangement that should occur.
