[StBernard] Blue Cross and Franciscans update

[Westley Annis]

How is it that a hospital can be established within one year in war-torn
areas and disaster areas within a year, and after 5 yrs. in St. Bernard
Parish, life goes on to drag its cutesy feet believing it's a non-factor to
citizens nor needed enough?

another question for the HSD Board, as a rural hospital How Much will
Private Insured Patients pay for "Cost Shifting"? {For instance, Reitz
criticizes the amount FMOL charges to help pay the
medical costs not covered by the federal and state plans for the poor,
uninsured and elderly. Reitz said that FMOL charges 18 percent while the
statewide average is 5 percent in what is called "cost shifting."}
