As to medicare, I've paid into it for 30+ yrs, though not used it. If the need arises and, am eligable, I will exercise my right.

As to conspiracy theorists, most use that as a blanket justification for their lack of understanding of the facts. The fact is this hospital negoc has been ongoing for 2 mos plus and was mentioned in the DCC mtg in Nov (apprx a month ago), at which time J Mayes stated his 2 week time-line as to an announcement, well overdue at this time.

Perhaps your comments would be taken seriously if directed toward the topic, instead of in the form of personal attacks and attempts to discredit via disinformation, though that is your right under the 1st ammendment. Best...
