The government doesn't pay the facility, it runs the facility.

It certainly creates its own set of problems, but not that one.



According to the first hits on google, roughly half of Portugal's hospitals are private.


Number of hospitals are not a relevant measure, since all the major hospitals are public. Here are more relevant measures: 70% of the hospitalizations and 73% of urgent care occur in public hospitals.

I don't have the numbers for psychiatric hospitalizations, but I would guess the number is higher than 70%.
