Medicare underpays doctors according to www.AAPSonline.org; most hospitals accept Medicare. Do you want your local hospital administrator to spend your Medicare
tax money on Public Relations? On salaries for nurses to sell hospice? These are ethical questions. It's
your money; it's our money: We can decide how much we want to reach the bedside, and how much we will allow to
remain on "Mahogany Row." If we don't, then the MBA on Mahogany Row will run the hospital like a business with "Enron
ethics." An example of this was Onslow Hospital in Jacksonville, N.C., where every floor had its own "vice-president."
