But if they are for profit, it's kind of double dipping---getting free equipment then billing for its use. Even that's OK if the money goes back into research or patient care---but if it goes into someone's pocket..........

The fundraiser was by the developers who were building on to the hospital in the anticipation of having Moffitt open here.
The Relay for Life used to be
huge here... and the developers asked them to kick in for the Moffitt Center and they said no and the developer said well then, you can't use our property. So Relay for Life is no longer here on Villages property. There was much anger and one of the local cancer doctors was not happy either that Moffitt was coming to the area. This is all just what I think was happening.
Basically I think the developers were trying to improve Medical care round abouts, BUT why is up for grabs. Some folks always say they are money grubbing greedy folks. I kinda was hoping that they were trying to improve medical care here because it needs to be improved in my very humble opinion.
