It is nice to do good things. It is nice to donate money. To help fight cancer sounds good, and indeed, is good. We don't like to talk about bad things. We like to slap each other on the back...and say "You are a good guy". We do not, as a society, like confrontation. We relish too much in self-congratulation. Somebody must point out the bad unfortunately. I will.
We need to know the facts at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. We must know where the DOLLAR$ are going at MSK!
MSK is a not-for-profit organization. As its name indicates, a nonprofit organization is established for something other than accruing financial profit. It is designed to achieve magnanimous goals and is supposed to serve a public good, to promote the general welfare of our society as a whole.
At the tax-exempt Memorial SK , total 2008 revenues reached $2.1 billion. The hospital paid officers, directors, trustees and key employees $25.1 million. In comparison, the highly esteemed nonprofit Red Cross, with 50 percent more in total revenue, paid its board a much more modest $3.7 million. With $3.3 billion of income, the Red Cross paid its CEO a $550,000 salary. Compare that with MSK, which lavished its CEO with $4.4 million.

MSK, while saying they will put your donated millions of dollars into research, is actually putting millions of dollars directly into their own private bank accounts. This is undeniable. This is morally bankrupt.
They are holding patients hostage.
