Hospital closings are a direct result of the failure of healthcare systm, he says.
The state was “over-bedded” five years ago, but now is lean. The state government will fight additional closings.
“I heard Ted Kennedy say” yesterday during a hearing that “we have a 'sick-care' system, not a healthcare system.” No preventative care, too many people using emergency rooms, which are more expensive and less effective for long-term health.
Consider this another argument in favor of a healthcare overhaul.
