Multiple commenters described their local hospital systems buying stadium naming rights and sponsoring sports teams while simultaneously cutting employee benefits and making minimal wage increases, with some viewing it as wasteful spending.
“Our local "not-for-profit health system" bought naming rights to the whole stadium and sponsors a full-blown fireworks show after every Friday game. Literally just blowing up money week in and week out for years on end. It's obscene.”

Yes. Our local "not-for-profit health system" bought naming rights to the whole stadium and sponsors a full-blown fireworks show after every Friday game. Literally just blowing up money week in and week out for years on end. It's obscene.

That’s a very healthy raise where I come from (the largest hospital/clinic group in our state). We were considered very lucky to get 3%. For a while they had raises on hold, but thankfully that stopped lol I do know we also sponsor a (local) baseball team lol

And banks. We’re being robbed by these institutions. Fees and rates keep going up to pay for their excesses.

Teagan allowed health insurance to be for profit. Now here we stand. Medical care should never be for profit
