You mean the municipality, which you also are a part of, and pay tax to?

There aren't very many hospitals or medical facilities owned by municipalities anymore. Most are either owned and operated by a private hospital network, or operate under a private trust.

The hospital I work at used to be owned by the state via the university, but our governor literally gave the campus away to a private trust that operates for profit. Super fun times.

Doctors offices are. Hospitals are funded by thr government. Either way paid for by your tax.

Unless you are American? Things are fucked there, that's no news. But most of Europe doesn't operate like that
