[StBernard] Blue Cross and Franciscans update

[Westley Annis]

You are wrong.  The proposed hospital is set up to be a community hospital
and a not-for-profit, unlike the previous hospital CMC, which was owned by a
for-profit company, I believe it was UHS.

	It depends on whether you view health care as a privilege or a
right. Some
	people (liberals) view it as a right, which is why you see aid
organizations
	opening hospitals in disaster areas. Other people (conservatives)
view it as
	a privilege that people should pay for. If there was a profit to be
made by
	opening a hospital in St. Bernard, there would already be one. Until
there
	is a profit to be made, there won't be one. It's pretty simple.
