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..........

Just an FYI:
"As the
third largest cancer center in the nation based on patient volume, Moffitt Cancer Center offers a level of service that stands above the rest.
Our recognition as a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center – the only one based in Florida – shows our dedication to translating important research discoveries quickly from our onsite labs directly to the patient’s bedside.'

And, at least the replacement group practice coming into the TV branch is not just a radiation therapy doctor
posing as a one-stop, comprehensive center that would meet
all one's cancer treatment needs. That was the case in the beginning, with full page sour-grapes newspaper ads and group sessions against Moffitt coming into The Villages.
