“In the News Assignment #2”
All students should review this article:
Prior to the FBI raid, you’re a provider receiving kickbacks from Next Health. You’ve been able to upgrade your office, invest in more advertising, and increase the pay of your staff. In general, life is good. Your conscious starts to eat at you, and you want to end the informal agreement. However, Next Health approaches you with one of the most financially lucrative offers to date. Do you accept this offer but say this the last time or do you just deny it and move on? Write a response defending reasons why you should accept the offer and reasons why you should not. You’ve previously been assured “you’ll never get caught,” and this deal could make you financially stable for a few years.
