Mike Allen, chief financial officer of Winona Health in Minnesota, had plenty to say about Finance Editor Philip Betbeze's take on the issue of community benefit as outlined in a column he wrote last November entitled, Just Not Good Enough.

As a viewpoint from a hospital CFO who deals with these issues daily, Allen provides an interesting take on Betbeze's Wal-Mart analogy.
