"Not for profit" is a tax classification. It has nothing to do with operations other than the requirements to maintain that classification for taxation purposes.

You have to ask yourself, just why is it that "not for profit" hospitals are typically larger than "for profit"?

The answer is that they have to spend the billions they reap each year, and since it has been proven that they do NOT spend it on providing no cost / low cost services and medical care to the community within which they reside, they simply increase staffing, medical equipment, supplies, and the size of the facility itself. . .

THAT was the implication at work within Troll's statement, and most of us recognized that right out of the gate. (But apparently not all).

But don't take my word on it. Here's a little light reading for you on the subject.

Then why are so many people still out of work...

There has been a net gain of 415,000 jobs in the private sector since Obama took office (contrast this with a net loss of 1.6 million private sector jobs by this same juncture in Bush's tenure).  The reason so many people are out of work is that the public sector, primarily state and local governments, have been shedding more jobs than the private sector can replace.  You all bleat about how you want to cut spending and want smaller government but then bitch about the unemployment caused by doing just that.

[The Troll]

  You need to calm down.  You are on of the biggest conveyor of lies here on the Zone.  So I thought that St Johns was a for profit hospital.  So what, is the sky going to fall, is the big meteorite going to wipe out earth. 

  Only you, the Hawk and "ME" go Bat Shit Crazy over my misstatement.  What the fuck is wrong with you Asshole Republicans.  Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan's whole campaign is built on lies and you guys worship their ass.    

  But I do want to say, I'm happier than shit that what I said tore you twins up so bad.  Have a good day cry babies.

Like I've been told, don't matter what you thought you lied to try to make a point.

[Exterminator]

The obvious difference is that he admitted he was mistaken.

At least he apologized ... sort of ...

That is FAR more than I have ever seen you do.

So if you think that I lied,  SORRY!

He apologized hours after, and clearly after I proved it.....and bullshit, I have admitted several times when I am wrong.

Its just that it so rarely happens.........

Go back and look at to whom I am replying, Hank. To your credit, you have admitted "several times" when you lied. 

But he did apologize. I stand by my statement that it is far more than 'me' has ever done. Even after DAYS and WEEKS of being proven wrong.

Va. GOP orders affiliate to remove offensive Obama photos

RICHMOND — Virginia Republican Party officials on Tuesday ordered their Mecklenburg County affiliate to remove photos portraying President Obama as a witch doctor, a caveman and a thug from its Facebook page.

The altered photos have been on the Mecklenburg County Republican Committee's page for months but drew attention outside the rural southwestern enclave after a luncheon event this week with Republican Senate candidate George Allen.

And the chairman just doesn't get it ....

R. Wallace "Wally" Hudson, chairman of the committee, was surprised to hear from a reporter that anyone had taken offense.

"If that group is that sensitive, I'm sorry, they're just not human," he said, chuckling. "It's not American. If they've got a problem with it, we're not going to change what we do."

He didn't seem any more inclined to take the state party's feelings into account when told in a subsequent interview what Mullins had said.

"They can do what they want," he said, chuckling again. "I'm waiting for the phone call."

The images were still up as of Tuesday night.

Hudson said he posted most of the images himself, after coming across them online. He said critics were playing "the race card."

"We know our regular readers, who are good conservatives, they're gonna get a kick out of it," said Hudson
