Concerns about Continuing Funding for Health Care Planning Process

The author, Robert Elliott, writes a letter to Representative Janes R. Jones urging them to vote against continuing funding for the health care planning process. Elliott believes that the process is a waste of time and taxpayer money. They provide an example of a recent meeting where a local hospitals proposal for a nursing home was approved despite various issues such as a moratorium on new nursing home beds and funding cutbacks. Elliott suggests that health care services should be offered in a more competitive market without unnecessary regulations.
