Senator Grassley thinks 31% for administration is too much for the charity-care given: Which "Nonprofit" Hospitals
Will Survive Ethics-Audits Required To Justify A Federal Tax-Exemption? Ask Your Doctors To Use Hospitals Meeting A Higher Ethical Standard Ideally Required For Medicare-Funding. See this article:
"A Critique
of the Standards for Proving

of Federal Tax Exemptions"
Decide where to practice--by country, by federal court circuit, by state,
by hospital. All politics is

"Skepticism
is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first comer: there is nobility in
preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and discretion,
it
can be safely exchanged for fidelity and happiness." -- Santayana

costs of this career-dissatisfaction and relocation are considerable, for patients and doctors.
