6、【 M8】 9 【 M9】 10 【 M10】 10 For most of American history, businesses were run to provide livelihoods and “reasonable“ profit. In the last few decades, though, business and society in the general have moved toward【 M1】 _ emphasizing profit maximization and individual self-interest. The transfer from “
7、reasonable profit“ to profit maximization has【 M2】 _ significant implications for corporate behavior and government regulation. However, how society views the purpose of the【 M3】 _ corporation has significant implications not only for business, but also for the perceived responsibilities of its civi
8、lians, their【 M4】 _ interactions with each other, and their obligation to their fellow countrymen.

13、ed.【 M2】 _ The charity question is significant because nonprofit hospitals get major tax breaks. Also, because of loopholes in state laws, nonprofit hospitals are often permitted to make huge profits. To complicate things further, the 2005 Government Accountability【 M3】 _ Office study concluded that
14、, when it comes to charity care, the “differences between nonprofit and for-profit groups were often big.“ To make up for this, nonprofit hospitals tend to arrange deals【 M4】 _ with city and state governments to provide “payment in lieu of taxes“(also known as PILOT programs). But for these payments
15、【 M5】 _ often dont equate the hospitals overall tax benefit and are【 M6】 _ perceived as acts of good faith to show that hospitals are playing nice with their communities. Recent economic downturns, therefore, have shined a【 M7】 _ detectives spotlight on the amount of charity care hospitals provide.
16、Investigative reports have shown up in Atlanta, East Bay and Boston newspapers question charity care policies. The Boston【 M8】 _ Globe report calculated that Bostons “10 leading hospital companies benefited from an estimated $638 million in federal, state, and local tax breaks as well state discount
