Interesting discussion about the tax vote.

BUT

What was the bottome line result:

We not only have 1 CFHA 200 bed hospital (on site) but we have another proposed for the Brownwood area (200 bed on site). And that was done without a Sumter county tax burden.

We will have 1 new cancer center (albeit affliate) on site without a Sumter county tax burden.

TV becomes an even more desirable place because of this.

Maybe some of this 'push' seems to smell a little and everyone has the absolute right to question it but the bottom line somehow seems worth it. At least to me. As a health care professional I'd like to have it ALL including supporting multiple charity organizations. But if it is a choice between on site local care and fund raising efforts for national charities - I'll take the on site care facilties.
