We can save our hospital

By Billy Joe Fudge
Personal commentary

The way I see it at this point in time, we the people have only two options:
  1. Plan one - the first and current option is to sell the hospital and end up having to pay off a debt on a hospital we the people do not own and over which we will have no control.

  2. Plan two - would be for we the people to assume control of our hospital, develop a plan for open management, and develop a plan to pay off the debt.
I know both statements are overly simplified but this is the way I see the situation as it stands. I'm a private sector guy but if we the people are going to be stuck with the bill then I think we the people need to protect our own interest.

If there are other options we need to hear about them.

I know we can save our hospital now that we have removed our heads from the sand. We just have to stop the fear-mongering, the name calling, the blame game, and go to work. - Billy Joe Fudge
