Lower reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid will only make the problem more difficult. We know the percentage of Medicare recipient is high. Not sure about Medicaid.

Someone could float bonds to build infrastructure... peoples earnings are a different matter. Especially Doctors who might be running their own practice... what entices them to relocate to that area.


Another issue is the seasonal crowd in winter. The level of demand for ER services is not the same during each season (it can't be). No one will ever be able to justify staffing for 12 months to meet 3 months of peak demand.
