It's going on ALL over the country.

This is not by accident. The policy makers in D.C. have been working for years to consolidate healthcare delivery down from 4000+ hospitals and 800,000+ doctors. Their goal is about 100 "Regional Heath Care Centers" where one dominant tertiary care facility owns about 40 or 50 hospitals and a couple thousand medical practices. Why??---it's all about regulation and control. It's easier to sit on 1 big center and make absurd regulations that that one hospital has to enforce down line, than the multitude of providers we have now. Why control and regulation? Because these bozos, advised by academic @$$e$, think that THEY, and only THEY, as auspices of big government, can do the job better that those who have trained for it and practiced it all their lives.
