Hurricane Katrina.

/the one thing that keeps me skeptical of single-payer in general is how a response to a major health crisis would go - e.g. the French 2003 Heat Wave.

Katrina affected all the hospitals in New Orleans, not just Charity.
And this is a system, with hospital and clinics in other areas of the state.

So I’m not quite understanding your point.

I know that in the aftermath of Katrina - Charity employees and staff worked virtually 24/7 for 5 days without electricity to keep the patients alive. I know this for a fact, as I know many of those employees, and watched as they were finally evacuated.
