			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think of a hospital as a place of nurturing and care when I, or loved ones, get severely ill.  I do not envision them as money-making &#8220;businesses,&#8221; nor do I look upon them as ever being out of integrity.  Perhaps it&#8217;s because I live in Canada, and it may not be as much of an issue here, or it could be that I am just really, really naive.  <img src='http://www.moneyeffects.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So, when I come across articles like <a title="Homeless Scam" href="http://news.aol.com/article/homeless-used-in-hospital-scam-fbi-says/121465" target="_blank">this one </a>that speaks to homeless people being used as pawns so that a hospital can make money, it makes me really wonder what is actually happening in all the areas of the &#8220;business&#8221; of health care.   There is lots of info already out there on pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, etc. etc. etc.</p>
<p>Perhaps the people involved don&#8217;t see themselves as being out of integrity, since they are actually giving a homeless person a place to live for a few days every once in awhile, with meals and fluids, etc.  However, the overhead costs of them doing so in a hospital setting surely exceeds a regular shelter meeting those same needs.  And, who is ultimately paying for all this?  Hmmm&#8230;</p>
<p>To your HEALTH and prosperity,</p>
<p>Sue</p>
