One could easily describe the comments of TruthMatters as the unresearched biased opinions of a someone who does not have a care about looking things up. Like so many now in office who sign bills without reading them. Shame on you.

No CAH has the capacity to treat trauma patients. Such patients transfer to higher level facilities. Many rural hospitals serve an important but not necessarily vital need, especially when studying out-migration patterns, one could easily describe a CAH as a by-pass hospital. Most in need of care drive past the CAH for a healthcare organization within 20-30 minutes that is better equipped and staffed with a spectrum of physician competencies. 20-30 minutes is the normal drive time for a person living in a suburban/ urban area.

Let your Senators and Representitives know the death this will cause members of your community who will loose access to timely emergency medical and trauma care.
