Here it seems to be a hands-off, have-at-it approach. When there are too many facilities, there is under-utilization and that ultimately leads to increased costs...and even closing of some pioneering outfits. This seems to be nothing less than shameful money-grubbing to get into residents pockets.

I agree completely.
