Tell them to put up or shut up. Sutter has NO obligation to lose money!

That is why there are no county hospitals in many counties in CA any more. They couldn’t afford to keep them open.

Gee, it costs money to keep a hospital open??? These community leaders didn’t know that before?

It’s disturbing seeing medical facilities closing.

I am really wondering what the administration is going to be doing with health care.

I just don’t have ANY confidence that they will make right decisions. maybe I am wrong and don’t understand…but it seems we need to get through the financial crisis before they try to change everything in health care. make improvements with existing system sure, But a major overhaul?
I don’t think they are up for that yet.
