  They could, but what newspaper is going to report that press release?

    Newspapers, by definition, cover reports that are newsworthy. "People are all healthy" would be the more surprising headline for any paper today, so I would assume that would be picked up at least as well.

    From their POV, does it matter? The clinic doesn't exist to get column inches as far as I can tell.

      If they didn't want money, for better or for worse, they wouldn't ask for it: https://philanthropy.mayoclinic.org/donatemc https://philanthropy.mayoclinic.org/donatemc $4.27 billion, pretty good for a non-profit: http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/14/charity-10_Mayo-Clinic_CH0108.html http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/14/charity-10_Mayo-Clinic_C... I'm not saying they don't use the money to help people. I am saying that, in regard to this article on HN, it's the finding one would expect.
