Some wealthy Americans who inherited their fortune believe that they are “entitled” to see their “investments” earn 25% per annum, while lowly “workers” are lucky to see a 2% annual cost of living adjustment. The fact that these “owners” get paid for letting their “money work” instead of profiting from the fruits of their brain or their brawn is cause MUCH resentment in the millions of patriotic American citizen laborers who BUILT this country.

We will not stand around and watch as the “moneyed class” shelters their exhorbitant profits in off shore accounts, send lucrative radiology contracts to India while skimming off the difference, buys expensive medical machines from abroad, and lays off patient contact and building maintenance workers to improve the “bottom line” so there is a profit left for the investors.

These facts might not apply to the hospital referenced in this story, but they certainly apply to many others. One hospital recently had to pay a $40 million settlement and change the entire administration which was accused of arranging sweetheart deals and contracts (in Tennessee). It is clearly time for the insurance industry and hospital administrators and investors and physicians groups to stop looting and layoffs and to instead begin working WITH the government to restore fiscal sanity to our medical systems.
