Too Many Hospitals?
I will never, as long as I live, completely understand this mentality. Apparently in York County, SC, the government is terrified of having too many hospitals. How else can you explain hospitals competing for the "right" to build there?
What kind of utter control freaks are these people in government? When I read about stories like this, I really, seriously wonder if there is any hope for freedom at all left in America. It sure doesn't seem like it. Can anyone give me ANY possible reason, any logical reason, why the government wouldn't want TWO hospitals? What possible bad outcomes can there be from that? I know the reason why they want only one -- so the government can have more power can control. But why do the people prop up such utterly socialist government? Why can't we let anyone who wants to build a hospital? Why on earth does someone need government's permission? It just absolutely completely baffles my mind. How can two hospitals not be better than one? And if FOUR companies want to build hospitals, how in the world can that be a BAD thing? Isn't healing people GOOD? Wouldn't it be nice to have another hospital to turn to when one got full? Apparently not in government's eyes. Seriously, what possible reason, other than total government control, can anyone give for not wanting MORE hospitals?

Had the same fight in Northease Tn. One hospital lost and now I hear (on a scanner) hospitals in the areas going on total diversion (closing to all new patients, including emergencies). Ain't that a hoot, call your local rescue squad with an emergency and they may have to haul you 50 miles to a hospital because the politicians refused to allow someone (with the money and resources to get er done) to built one 5 miles from your home. Shouldn't we be allowed to execute one politician for each patient that dies because of the long transport time? We would run out of politicians real fast.

Sounds fair to me -- when a stupid political decision results in death, one who voted for it dies.
And no, that rule doesn't apply in time of war.
