2. HCA way up on my list of companies to target with the ACORN amendment
I worked for that POS corporation in the 90's when the for profits were buying up our entire health care industry. They and hospital corporations like them are a big piece of the rising costs and decreasing quality of our health care. Buncha thieves, the whole lot of them.
