Absolutely, the original article I wrote, which is accessible by the tweet above, directly addresses the hospital chain issue. The fact that one out of five hospital beds in the United States is controlled by a Catholic religious order or a Catholic bishop is a major societal problem.

It's also an historical accident rooted in how healthcare used to be delivered in part as charity. Some Catholic religious orders or diocese operated hospitals in order to provide healthcare to the poor.

That hasn't been how it's worked for generations now. Catholic hospitals are no more likely to be staffed by Catholics than any other hospital, patients are no more likely to be Catholic then at any other hospital. Patients are no more likely to be poor than patients at any other hospital, and poor patients are not forgiven their medical debt. Catholic hospitals and hospital chains are not charities, they are businesses managed just like non-Catholic hospitals —with a critical difference being they sometimes refuse care based on Catholic theology even when medical staff want to deliver that care.

In this case, the nuns are taking things a step further by not just refusing to provide medical care in some circumstances, but insisting that their employees, most of whom are not Catholic, be limited by Catholic theology.

If the nuns cannot treat their employees equally without respect to religious belief, then the nuns need to sell their business.
