No I am not under that impression. However, you and the other one who are discussing this with me must not know any doctors IRL. This is a common practice that occurs in every hospital I am aware of except for county hospitals.
If you all are saying this violates the law, then someone needs to alert the OIG or whoever would investigate this because it is a widespread practice to provide free food to doctors in doctor's lounges in hospitals.
