Agree. There are some rumblings that the govt will re-institute (or allow)

Over inflate charity care numbers. Simple

Those numbers are overinflated. Ever notice how much they

Yea, kind of similar to when admin pulls out numbers of how much I'm costing

I agree with that.

Completely agree.

IHC sucks but HCA and PE groups in medicine are exponentially worse. 100% agree
