If you get cancer and can afford it, go to MD Anderson in Houston.

Yet another reason for-profit medical care needs to go.

her rare cancer had spread throughout her body, including her brain, she and her husband refused to accept a death sentence.

Its sad and I'm sorry, but at that point, it IS a death sentence, and you would be better off accepting it and trying to enjoy your last few months here on Earth.

It is a sad story, but yeah, she should have blown all her cash on living life to the fullest. If I ever get that diagnosis, the first thing I'm going to do is start senselessly murdering people for doing things that marginally annoy me. It's just something I've always wanted to do.

You, sir, are a Patriot of the First Order and should be honored as such!

The one here in Orlando is top-notch, too.  But I read that Houston's is expanding.

A dear, close friend was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer last summer (at 52).  Metastisizing.  They removed it, hit the right combo of chemo, and operating on all that remained yesterday.  Her experience with MD has been outstanding.  From effectiveness, to involvement, to comfort level.  All of it.

I'm a small man, with small dreams. Like blowing up tailgaters with a trunk mounted rocket launcher.

I want one too.

FTFA:  "In 1966 he became a trustee of Americans Building Constitutionally, an organization that helped wealthy individuals set up not-for-profit corporations and personal trusts to avoid paying federal income and inheritance taxes. "

clearly they are not looking for your average customer.

"go to the store. You're done."

WTF does that MEAN?

HotWingConspiracy: seadoo2006: ... and this is a surprise? Really? Yeah, because if a hostipal is telling me they don't have any more options, I'm going to go to a for-even-more-profit center.  Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.

They're selling hope! It's like they're dream merchants.

So should we rank these groups by having a playoff or just use the old BCS calculator?
