4. Well, then… I'll give you the skinny on health care...

… since I've been in it over 40 years and various governmental changes of Medicare.

The non-profit hospitals in this star (PA) don't have to go far to prove they are such, and AS such, they don't pay property taxes, they suck up local services, they purposely hire without benefits, and they monopolize services so they can wipe the other systems out.

All the while, they have about 30 people at the top who make over a million a year, CEO makes 6.8 million. I have seen human resources separated from the parent company so that the parent company (millionaire row) can say they HAVE no employees. Meanwhile, a lot of learned health care workers (medical aides, technologists, even physician groups and their extenders) receive very little for their operations.

You know the movie, Shawshank Redemption? Remember the warden's little enterprises that allowed him to play that game where his prisoners undercut all the local business with low bids and prison labor? The model isn't really too far from that.

Due process for harassment in the work place is another story I'll save for later...
