Have I stimulated your thoughts? How?

Or…Does my position disturb the hell out of you? Why?

Some thoughts on non-profits

We have to assume all corporations, including non-profit corporations, have to make a profit to survive…but the Government for medicare and medicade only reimburse hospitals at cost.  That means all profit comes from Blue Cross and private insurance patients.  If the hospital is located in a poor district they would have fewer private patients and more government patients.  Therefore, hospitals in low income areas find it more difficult to survive  and a shortage of funds can impact their quality of care.
