What does this mean? You don't get to write off the difference between your "target price" and actual sale price.

And a reminder that companies always do better if they make more money, not point in purposeful losses (unless you are getting a side benefit like goodwill from charity).

I think, but am not sure, the point they're trying to make is that hospitals and insurance companies can "charge" really high prices and then they can forgve those high prices in exchange for a tax break?

That's not at all how it works so they don't have any idea what they're talking about. This is like when people say businesses can "write it off on their taxes". Only people who don't know what that really means say it.
