Council Tours Troubled Hospital
posted 10:33 am Sat September 22, 2007 - WASHINGTON
The field trip was led by health committee chairman David Catania. He says the plan for Envision Hospital Corporation to sell Greater Southeast to Specialty Hospitals of America is the last hope. Mayor Adrian Fenty also supports the deal.
The council is expected to consider the city's proposed investment in early October.

The city cannot afford to lose another hospital. Given that the hospitals are required by law to take indigent or uninsured emergency patients, it seems appropriate that tax dollars support the mission.
I'm not one for government bailouts ordinarily but providing emergency health care to the needy seems the right thing to do.
