Excuse me, just what in the Hell is wrong with making money? This is gonna surprise a lots of folks but a hospital is a business. You walk into a tailor and tell him you want to get some new clothes cause yours are worn out and you used your money for something else, guess what's gonna happen. Same deal at the butcher, the baker, the candle stick maker. They are buzzzz nis isssses. To make money. Just like liquor stores and houses of ill repute. If they don't make money, they got to close the doors. Then you get to scream 'cause you ain't got a hospital in your town no more.
And doctors expect a return on the mega hours and bucks they spent to get to be doctors. How many bricklayers do you know that work for free?
And the little old lady in the insurance office with the eye shade and the sleeve guards that is vetting what you and the doctors and the hospitals are doing, we --by that I mean we and the doctors and the hospitals-- kinda did that to ourselves. Anyone that can't bring to mind several cases of, shall we say, white collar, abuse, let me know and I'll cite you a few.
Anyone that thinks Michael Moore is providing a public service, that he is not a fat, sloven, commie that appeals to a certain type of people that are too stupid to think for themselves needs to do a little more research. He makes Rosy look decent by comparison.
