American logs into her federal student aid account so we can see her actual loans and payments - She took out a $49,548.74 loan - She’s made 120 payments, paying $25,558.36 - Her current balance is $50,121.33 So after paying $25,558.36, she now owes more than she took out “It's all such a scam”

If hospitals can own physicians why can't physicians own hospitals? GKS

🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Eric Schmitt is on absolute FIRE on the Senate floor. “First, Democrats FLOOD our country with 15M+ illegal aliens, and now they claim merely asking people to prove they are a citizen before registering to vote is ‘SUPPRESSION!’”

VCU vs North Carolina… Richmond, Virginia loses $63 million a year in revenue because the most valuable real estate in the city is tax-exempt. Most of it belongs to VCU and VCU Health. VCU Health generates $3.54 billion in annual revenue. It agreed to make $56 million in property tax payments to the city over 25 years as part of a development deal. The development failed. VCU Health paid a $73 million exit fee. Then the state legislature passed budget language directing VCU Health to stop making the $2 million annual tax payments to the city. The mayor of Richmond said pursuing the money was “not in the city’s best interest” because he did not want to “burn bridges” with VCU or the General Assembly. There is a term in economics for what happens when a party with no leverage negotiates with a party that controls its funding. It is not called negotiation.

We’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of fraud in our health care system. Next up: Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida. What I saw on the ground in Florida around durable medical equipment fraud was horrifying. The scale is out of control – and not just limited to these schemes. Cleaning this up will require a laser focus and real action from state leaders. The reality is that fraud in our government health programs is widespread, sophisticated, and deeply entrenched. Consider just a few recent cases: June 2025: The CEO of a healthcare software company was convicted of orchestrating a nationwide scheme that generated fraudulent physician orders and resulted in more than $1 billion in false Medicare claims. January 2026: Two health care executives were convicted for running a $34 million Medicare Advantage fraud scheme, using deceptive telemarketing tactics to pressure elderly beneficiaries into accepting medical equipment they didn’t need. January 2026: A laboratory owner admitted guilt in a $52 million Medicare fraud operation involving medically unnecessary genetic testing ordered through illegal kickbacks. January 2026: Two individuals were arrested in Central Florida for a Medicaid fraud scheme that billed the program for thousands of non-emergency medical transportation trips that never occurred, stealing more than $65,000 from taxpayers. And these are just the cases that have already been uncovered. Behind every fraudulent claim is money taken from taxpayers, resources diverted from patients who truly need care, and vulnerable seniors and low-income Americans being exploited for profit. Florida has been a hotspot for health care fraud for years. Taxpayers and vulnerable patients deserve better—and it’s time for state leadership to step up and work with us to stop it. We’re exposing the abuse, pursuing the fraudsters, and cleaning up these programs.

As opposed to revenue and size? For example, Sentara has 34K employees in 29 states with an operating revenue of $13.2B. Not weighing in whether it’s fair or right or wrong. But the entities listed are large systems - what do you think they should be paid compared to non healthcare like size entities? And non profit means their “profits” are reinvested back into mission and operations.
