costs skyrocket. Well, all I have to say is this report right here doesn't help. It disgusts me and just shows you how elitist some think they are and it further disgusts me that some would cater to them like supplicants to a king. "Sorry I can't serve the needy. It's my tee time." "Wait, who are you?" "How much do you make" "I'm sorry. I'll be right there."

(CBS 11 News) DALLAS A CBS 11 investigation uncovers how the rich and famous are getting VIP treatment at Dallas' UT Southwestern Medical Center, a taxpayer-supported state institution.

The hospital has a list of more than 6,000 movers and shakers who get perks, including special access to appointments. The names include high society figures, politicians, and even Arab sheiks.

The list, from 2003, notes the social status of each VIP with comments like:
• Close friends of George W. Bush Jr.
• World famous wedding cake maker
• Prominent family from Saudi Arabia
• Famous New York designer
• And the most common note, "HCP" which means "high community profile."
