I apologize if others have made this point in the past. But reading about these on-line auctions for equipment for community health centers is making me think of that classic saying "It will be a great day when the schools have all the money they need and the military has to hold a bake sale."
Right! (Now, while we are waiting for that day, please bid high!)
