  1. So let me see if I understand this article. CHN made a smaller operating profit last year ($32.5 million) after a number of years of stunningly high profit margins. However, the health system recorded an overall loss because it lost $196.7 million on risky investments. Are we to feel sorry for them?

    1. The 98.2% increase in temporary staff wages compared to the 8.2% increase in average hourly rate seems to say you should probably pay your in-house staff better.
