换个说法的利润仍会让医院深感困扰。

Mod Healthc. 1994 Aug 8;24(32):115-6, 120-2, 124-8 passim.

Surplus. Excess revenue. Money for reinvestment. Hospitals would have you call it anything but profit. However, they are generating more of it than ever before. Colorado hospitals, for example, including Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge, left, are posting their highest earnings in several years.

盈余。额外收入。用于再投资的资金。医院会让你用别的词来称呼它，而不是利润。然而，它们创造的盈余比以往任何时候都多。例如，科罗拉多州的医院，包括惠特里奇的路德医疗中心（见左图），正创下几年来的最高收益。
