When staffing and equipment levels take a huge hit, give large amounts of money to a small number of people rather than invest it in solving the major problems it's facing? That is profoundly stupid. So is running a hospital like a business.
And hospital who didn't pay out those bonuses had those problems as well.
It's simple greed and profiteering. That's where the outrage comes from. And it was government (your) money.
I'm not sure it matters if the income was from the government, since 50%+ of all healthcare is paid by the government in normal times.
