when talking of misleading statements you should probably highlight the article only references fixed costs of which rent is the highest line item.
that would be true of any bricks and mortar based business. Same for retail, hospitality, lease based farming, education providers, you name it. Probably the only businesses that don't have rent as their highest fixed cost is trucking companies and car dealerships as vehicle finance is their highest cost or miners and steel mills whose equipment is worth more than their office space.
healthscopes biggest costs would be labour by far followed by consumeables and medicines. That's why they shut down the birthing wards in Darwin and Tasmania as there were not enough births to be profitable
