student asking question

I hear it like "operated" not "operate". Isn't the original form of this sentence is 'how would a hospital like this (be) operated' with be verb skipped in the middle?

In the video, the speaker asks, "how would a hospital like this operate ... ". However, you are correct in assuming that "be operated" could be substituted for "operate" with no change in the meaning. Both are correct.
