It has been hilarious to see a handful of the Greenville Legislative Delegation, generally the most expressive in terms of their opposition to “Government Run Healthcare”, lay down on the train tracks, in support of “Government Run Healthcare”, supporting the status-quo that has the Legislative Delegation micro-managing the Greenville Hospital System. Garry Smith is one dumb sum-bitch, and even more so a stinking hypocrite.
Good article, Ron! Lots of good information!
Thank you for sharing!
They already do what they want regardless of who is on the BOT. They spend money like they own the printing machine on expansions and building taj mahal’s for offices. Meanwhile, they reduce benefits for their employees and many (especially the nurses) are constantly being warned of possible layoffs. They’ve bought up most of the independent docs/ancillary services in the area and try to force in-house referrals for everything…cutting out all the independent practices. Imagine if they had been successful in taking over the EMS service…everyone with good insurance goes to GHS and everyone else goes to St. Francis. I say let them go private but force them to pay the county back for EVERYTHING that tax payers paid for (I heard it’s in the billions). Miserable human beings run that show.
“I say let them go private but force them to pay the county back for EVERYTHING that tax payers paid for (I heard it’s in the billions).”
Wow…what a great idea, I’m sure costs won’t go up at all…
But I have to admit it is fun to watch a Tea Party guy defend government run healthcare and demand that the politicians be MORE involved in it…
Tax Payers are everybody’s sucker because we do not have sense enough to get rid of lying,steal politicians and government employees.
Have you looked at what MUSC is trying to pull off? Merging with Orangeburge Regional, Tidelands, and Kershaw hospitals? They just changed many of their statutes to achieve this. I’m sure GHS is just looking for the same. Meanwhile, insurers are eliminating coverage for these large systems where cost is so much greater (probably to pay for all of the acquisitions)!
Tea Party morons want MORE governmental oversight?
LOLOLOLOL!
These fools don’t know what they ‘believe’. i.e. Just the bigoted stuff
Sounds like a trick that big spending, high cost Lexington hospital will pull if they can. LMC already should repay Lexington County for tax money given to help them over the years. What I want to know is why there is no fiscal accountability for these public medical facilities. These “trustees”, at least at Lexington, are all political patronage hacks. Nobody ever sees the financials and the legislative delegations should insist on accountability and transparency since they are public entities paying very high salaries to their executives. For exact same medical procedure at Lex and Palmetto, it cost 55% more at Lexington. Lexington hospital also for years spending money sponsoring high end events yet don’t give a break to indigent patients. This is same hospital that says anyone on Obamacare can just “F-off” and go elsewhere. They don’t want you. If you don’t buy a $100 ticket to their events they don’t give a shit about you. A doc there told me the administration at Lex treats their docs like shit, they are all unhappy, but Lex spends significant bucks making things look like all is ok there.
