To me it sounds what the complaints were against Congress’s Health Care Plan. They will take the role of the Government and tell Memorial what to do. I don’t like it. I have spent much time in Memorial and have no com-plaints about the way it is being run now. If there is any kind of corruption going on, then get rid of it. Ther is a saying which I don’t remember totally or even if it’s going in the right direction. But here it is anyhow. Don’t kill the baby for the bath water.
