The rumors of my recent demise are incorrect. We sure did have a whole lot of fun on here in the old days. Did you ever collect your LOBSTER?  |
No, Barefoot has successfully welshed on our bet for almost 9 years now. And despite her home in Canada where cold water lobster abounds, I remain devoid of seafood
I wish I could tell you the future of healthcare in TV, but I don't think anyone knows yet. I only know a few things that others don't, but very little and nothing that would indicate the future prospects for TVH. I do think that TVH will continue in one form or another, I doubt it will just close its doors on 50,000 patients. Right now it appears, but only from what others have posted on social media, that they need some emergency funding to continue in the short term.
Most likely they will get it. I also think this will be in court and negotiations for a while. My bigger fear is that the older docs will simply retire and the younger ones head to greener pastures before this all settles out. But don't be discouraged---I don't think there has ever been a situation where a community of 150,000 suddenly loses most of its healthcare at the hands of an overzealous bureaucracy. The term "bailout" comes to mind.
