      What an eye opening article.Never realized what non-profit hospitals were about.I found out it means any excess monies are paid out to administrators leaving no profit.Also get to operate tax free.The billing system is so wrong when a visit to the emergency room can easily cost over $20,000 for indigestion.There has to be a better way.We had a Peace Corps how about a Medic Corps.Also the bottom feeders (liars) in the legal system contribute to crazy costs of so many unnecseeary tests.Wait till OBama Care kicks in.Know the health system needs to be fixed but the health industry lobbyist are sleeping with the Devil (Congress).Somehow I know we will survive.  Al
