Both hospitals and insurance companies are two of the primary reasons health care costs are so high. They, the hospitals, seem to fail to appreciate the impact the floundering economy will have on their profitability. The division of classes economically will cut into their bottom line. Failure to recognize this reality will be their undoing. They cannot see themselves as anything but big business when they claim they are not. The circumstances underlying this whole arena issue is proof their sports medicine decision is an act of business not compassion and concern for a community lacking access to care. All hospitals are extremely political animals. They very quietly but purposefully ally themselves with the majority party always keeping the minority party on a tight leash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-50135337411964296482012-04-22T08:52:18.407-04:002012-04-22T08:52:18.407-04:00@8:23, I'm disappointed in LVHN. the sports ...@8:23, I'm disappointed in LVHN. the sports medicine location, at the arena, certainly seems to have a political component, beyond being an incredibility inconvenient location for patients. the community would be better off if the hospital made more of a commitment to their 17th and Chew St. location.michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-67562221105683246872012-04-22T08:23:00.571-04:002012-04-22T08:23:00.571-04:002 + 2 = 4.
