I'm glad that the public healthcare district finally decided to follow the Brown Act. They don't have a great track record and often shield themselves by claiming that the hospital is not public.

Phew!!

A close call! They *ALMOST* chose someone who actually knows something about health care.

This is bad news, the last thing we need on the Hospital board is a politician especially someone who is vocal opponent of the Affordable Care Act, either of the other two would have been good choices, so with two good they selected the one bad. This entire board needs to be replaces by people who are responsive to the people who live in the area the hospital serves.

I think we voted to limit this boards salaries in the past but this was overturned, time for new grass roots action.

The govt running the hospitals only means one thing, and that is control over you and everything you do. The lies of ACA are clearly known now, so I don't have to repeat them here. Only winners of ACA are the insurance companies and their investors. Their only motive is profits, and guess where that will come from, the average tax payer.

We all know how well the govt runs things, just look at the veteran hospitals.
