If they have to pay top dollar for that parking to the Federal Govt, it would make more sense to increase pay rather than give fringe benefits.Hospitals are primarily run by bean counters, they extract profit from parking and get paid a bonus for doing so, they have no desire to provide it for free!
Focus on triple baseline ideology, reward the bean counters only for improving all aspects of operation and maximising benefits for both the hospital and for it's staff, and the equation will change. Do not reward bean counters for robbing the poor!
In Germany where a post war mandate means staff have to form part of the business executive/board, things run much much better because nobody has the power to profit at the expense of others. It the primary reason for the strong drive in it's economy, everyone profits from improvements.
