Which AMC or Locum company is vulnerable in this economy

[deleted682700]

Covid 19 has caused hospitals to cancel elective surgeries for months. Further patients are scared to have to come to the hospital for elective procedure. Will this demand destruction cause deflation in health related spending? Will hospitals that have marginal balance sheets be forced to cut back on expensive Locum companies? Which AMC have the most debt and are vulnerable to further cut backs from hospitals. How long can the Locum companies survive if elective surgeries demand does not come back to prepandemic levels.

Free standing ASCs that are owned by older physicians and independent single specialty hospitals (ie orthopedics) most at risk for consolidation. Private equity has many avenues to raise capital/borrow money on the cheap in this environment which will allow AMCs to survive.

Are people really not back to 100%?
AMCs will be fine making 25% less this year due to a 3 month break. I bet the numbers aren’t even that bad for most of them.
