Or for that matter, any hospital. CC is a sponsor of Cleveland Guardians games, which I watch a lot. Akron Children’s’ advertises a lot, too.

I’d rather the hospitals cut millions of dollars worth of ads and make my bill smaller.

Like, if you need surgery where else are you going to go but a hospital? And it’s not like you really have a choice because you have to go where your insurance tells you to.

Same with our local mall. There’s only one. It’s not like there’s any competition. Yet they advertise it all the time on TV.

That's often lumped in as just another "side-effect" nt Shermann Jul 2023 #3

True, but at least that's a useful consumer warning Hugh_Lebowski Jul 2023 #4

Followed by an advisory to contact your doctor if you experience any of the side effects NotASurfer Jul 2023 #16

We haven't had anybody complain about that particular side effect! nt Shermann Jul 2023 #18
