What's wrong with this picture?

Nothing really, but it's certainly a foreign concept to most Canadians.

This picture was taken at the Great Lakes Crossing Mall in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Look above the 5 and you'll see that a hospital is giving money to a shopping mall. Quite the opposite to the situation where local people and businesses are being begged to make voluntary donations on top of their taxes in support of an sustainable healthcare system.

Clearly this hospital is making bad financial decisions. I mean with all that money being spent on advertising their service must suffer. Just think of the shortages of beds, doctors, nurses and supplies. I imagine the wait in their Emergency Room goes on for days.

Oh. Maybe these guys are onto something with the whole "competition" thing after all.
