So a private hospital run by a religious order gets two tags?

That is the main distinction though, at least in Australia, although I know that it changes around the world. In a "private" hospital, you personally (or your health insurance fund) will pay for it, while a public hospital is funded by the Government so you won't pay for treatment.
Not sure if anyone else is interested, but after reading this I thought I'd try to add some more detail to hospitals, and created the Map Roulette challenge to add the operator:type tag to hospitals to distinguish private/public hospitals.
