re: #609 reine.de.tout

Many hospitals are nonprofits, as are many insurers. Nonprofits and for profit health care entities still need suffiicent revenues to meet their needs and obligations, including maintaining and upgrading technologies provided. The MRI, CT and PET scanners don’t come cheap, and can cost upwards of $500,000 each, not counting the support equipment and build-out of space for them. These facilities will charge a commensurate amount to cover the costs to buy and install them.
