It's a mystery why hospitals are still considered worthy recipients of large gifts. People donate tens of millions of dollars for a hospital building, inside which the hospital proceeds to rapaciously overcharge its patients.
It's true that most hospitals themselves are non-profits, but the service providers in the hospital range from moderate capitalists to very predatory ones. Donating to the hospital just means they charge less overhead, and the medical corporations operating within them keep more. Doctors are great and all, but I don't feel like they need my charity.
