Hospital poster that seems to tell a lie

'Today we are passionate about providing care of the highest medical standards, equally to all patients, regardless of their means.'

The above is a quote from a wall poster in St Vincent's Private Hospital.

As this writer attempted to take a photograph of the poster he was told it was forbidden to take photos in the hospital.

'... Regardless of means.' What happrns when words lose all meaning? Is that what a lie is?
