Hospital Closures Turning Delco Into 3rd World — We caught Delaware County (Pa) Council Chairwoman Monica Taylor on the news last night, March 7, looking upset and horrified about Delco’s rapidly increasing spiral into 3rdworlddom with the imminent closure of three major hospitals.
The hospitals — Crozer-Chester Medical Center, Springfield and Taylor — are owned by Prospect Medical Holdings of California.
“We had six hospitals in Delaware County and now, due to Prospect, we may only have two hospitals left,” she said.
Two hospitals for 576,830 persons is pretty third worldish.
Why are they closing? Regulations, impractical mandates and perhaps a little corporate looting.
A competent government would not have let this happen.
Delaware County’s government is not competent.
But at least we now have a neato health department that gives out condoms and has electric vehicles.
And it only (LOL) costs $19 million.
Change is needed fast.
Not that we advocate corporate welfare but $19 million would have saved those hospitals.
