Buggyone: IMHO you cannot compare these two issues.

An auto manufacturer choose to build a plant in a certain city/state based on economic and staffing considerations. Ergo its purpose is the creation of wealth for itself and the community via payroll and payroll taxes property taxes, etc.

On the other hand a Tramautic Brain Injury Center main purpose is altruistic and of course with a profit motive. However the problem here realistically is that far too often such patients lack the necessary funding to support the long term medical they will need. In a number of cases such traumatic injuries head spinal cord have $millions projected in care based on their longevity Hence it falls on the State . As part of my job over the years I have visited such centers. These health professionals do wonderful work, are very dedicated and fight to recovery every dime they can to continue the treatment of their patients.
