St. Jude is a 501(c)(3)! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Jude_Children%27s_Research_Hospital

Patients are not charged for care. The place runs on donations.

While st. Jude's does good work they're a miniature bandaid on a body that's bleeding out. Just like with charities like Wounded Warrior Project, it's as much a sign of am immoral system and failed government as anything else. None of this should be necessary in the richest country on the planet.
