(WHBL) – One of Wisconsin’s think tanks is questioning the costs and benefits of the state’s field hospital at the state fairgrounds. The Department of Health Services on Thursday said there is still just the one patient at that hospital in West Allis.
The hospital was built to hold 500 patients, Governor Evers last week ordered it open for up to 50.
Brett Healy with the MacIver Institute said Wisconsin’s regular hospitals were supposed to get nearly a half-billion dollars to treat coronavirus patients. He wants to know where that money is, and whether it’s efficient to spend so much on the little used overflow hospital.
