If you read the article the person who is buying them is "An emergency room doctor and addiction specialist" who is trying to keep the rural hospitals open and functional, in order to help people and communities.

I don't doubt what you say maybe happening, though I imagine that would be a lot of larger rural center hospitals.

It still baffles me that only ~20% of your hospitals are government owned, and equally as many for-profit.
