Yves here. Having lowest of low end retailers take a flier with mobile clinics is yet another proof of the poor state of health care in the US.

While companies can deduct professional fees, the Internal Revenue Service requires that consulting arrangements be market-based and reasonable, as well as “ordinary and necessary” to running a business.
