Negative comments about this topic received thus far:
So what?
What's the point?

My response:
  A majority of responses have been positive and find the facts compiled in
this post interesting. (although it's publicly available) The term, follow
the money trail was mentioned. Some political office connections were
mentioned, but wasn't really the topic of the post so I didn't include them
in the list.
   I see no harm in being aware of the ajendas of those we do business with.
In some cases, we (the O&P facility)are just a part of a vendor's income, and
in other cases, the vendor exists just to take care of us.
