This information is provided by the candidate | |
The Eden Township Healthcare District needs directors who can make sensible business decisions, not swayed by personal interest. I believe I can bring the energy, attention, and unbiased approach needed to help resolve the problems facing the District.I was asked recently to run for one of the two open director seats. I asked "why me"? The reason seemed to be that they thought I was a sensible fellow and could make good, reasoned decisions, but in addition I have no inherent conflicts of interest. Anyone knowing the history of the Eden Township Healthcare District knows there has been crippling controversy due to conflicts or perceived conflicts of interest. Existing & prior Board members have had to remove themselves from discussion & decisions and in some cases have had to resign from the Board. I am NOT a medical professional and will have no financial stake in the decisions of the board. I must confess I started out knowing very little about the District and the local healthcare issues. The more I've looked into it, however, the more I see that the local issues are the same ones that face the US in general. There are a lot of underinsured and uninsured folks (Medi-Cal or no insurance) and when they form the majority of a hospital's patients, the hospital has a hard time staying solvent. I make no promises prior to election as to my stance on various issues. I will however give reasoned consideration to all the facts surrounding each issue, listen to public opinion, and take my best shot. I'd appreciate your vote in the November 6th election. Thank you. |
