Advocate Health has the largest market share in the Chicago Metropolitan area, coming in at 13.6%.
In comparison, not-for-profit The University of Chicago Hospitals-where Michelle Obama works has only a 2.2% share.
As we just reported, for the 12 months of their fiscal year 2007, not-for-profit Advocate Health made $259,938,000 in profits.
For the first 6 months of their FY08, not-for-profit The University of Chicago Hospitals has already reported making $118,724,000 in profits.
Market share isn’t all it’s cut out to be if you have the right kind of patients.

HOUSTON - Exxon Mobil reported second-quarter earnings of $11.68 billion Thursday, the biggest quarterly profit ever by any U.S. corporation, but the results fell well short of Wall Street expectations and shares fell in premarket trading.

So, it wasn’t their best day but I bet 11.68B is more than you’ve got in your wallet, right?
Should some windfall profits be plowed back into lowering the price of gas for the average consumer?
How do the candidates stand on Big Oil reaping windfall profits while gas prices get ridiculous for regular folks?

In this economy is that what we want to see or even should be seeing?
No, I don’t play in the stock market it is a gamble I choose not to take.
supply and demand is different. This is take from the poor countries and give to themselves and shove it to the public that has no choice in fueling their cars and heating their houses.
Why should they gouge just to make excessive profit?
“Barack Obama: A windfall profits tax on big oil to give families a thousand dollar rebate. A president who’ll stand up for you”
$1000 rebate?

McCain Is Older & WISER asked: Almost Every single Democrat Congress member advertises for us to buy a Hybrid, who are the share holders and profit makers of these vehicles? cause they are SELLING OUT.
I know when I googled this I found a photo of Hemelt that GE traiter who does business with IRAN.
Hybrids will only save around 10.00 a week on gas anyway- I won’t buy that! Especially if any of my money goes into Irans hands to terrrorists ! Im gonna wait to buy a car that does alot better than that!
I don’t know about you guys but I can only afford a used car, Hybrids prices are being jacked up because of Demand- over 25K, that should be against the law to raise prices on a car that burns less gas! A bunch of CROOKS!
