This article quite exquisitely illustrates the problem with Medical Care. It is written in a perspective that appeals to investors in a " Medical Industry ". Facilities spend millions of dollars making a more expensive facility, with the newest technology to make that facility appealing to investors, not to provide cures for patients. Alaska ranked in the bottom 1/3 for facility preparedness, but still they build it bigger not better. Medical Care now depends on ability to pay ridiculous amounts of money for terribly inadequate care. The measure of successful care is fewer customers. The measure of a profitable facility is continued , and increased number of, patients. So they advertise of course, and spend your money buying ads for their new dandy addition. The NFL actually has non-profit status. It's a tax dodge, and nothing more.
