Hospital Closings

Well Cass - in one post you complain about West Penn closing departments and laying off 1500 people, and I quote: "For everyone who opposed health care reform - please explain how our health system could get any worse when a major hospital like West Penn looses so much money that they have to close their emergency room. Deadbeats go to the hospital emergency room, give fake names and addresses, can't be turned away because they don't have insurance, then never pay the bill. This is the result."

I post what the CEO had to say and then you respond that the new Health Care Law is better than what we have and that universal health care has been proposed by every president since Nixon. Make up your mind - You can't have it both ways.
