However if the idea behind this forum is to help educate people and provide information on topics that can have an impact on the area, and economy then this is very much the place to be having this conversation.

Now if people can't keep the politics out of the discussion then by all means shut this down... However if informative information can flow, then it should be allowed.

But really at this moment the argument is not really about the issue, but rather if this is a good place to have the discussion...

I hear you LI, but the subject of non profit versus profit was brought up and honestly, even a non profit still must be cash flow positive ( or profitable) otherwise it can't survive. But I digress, I see the hospital being taken to task here for an issue that is absolutely political because we are talking about tax funded payments that the hospital can't accept and stay open. It's as simple as that but how it gets resolved is very complicated.

Anyway, the steps taken by LRGH were precipitated by steps taken by politicians far away, trying to separate the two is impossible, at least for a rational conversation hence my thoughts that this should end.
