Plain and simple. The coverage and response time at The villages Hospital emergency room stinks. People go there because it's convenient. Then they wait, and wait, and wait. If you have an option, get someone to tanke you to Shands. A UF teaching hospital. After 8 hrs. In the emergency room and finally being transported via ambulance to Shands I can say first hand, I won't go back to The Village Hospital for anything. This is not a Morse issue, it could be a life and death issue. They built a good city but the medical piece of it got lost in the shuffle. Agreed privatization takes over and so do economies of scale. And above all good old fashioned profit. The king of privatization
