Commissioners need to provide oversight
[Cornerning NewsLanc's "LGH: Commissioners disclaim responsibility", which noted that "Comments from Commissioner Dennis Stuckey implicitly questioned the value of any government-level assessment of need: 'I fully expect the hospital and the healthcare providers to determine what’s best for Lancaster County—that’s their expertise, that’s the business they’re in,' Stuckey asserted, 'We rely on the professionals to determine what’s in the best interest of healthcare in Lancaster County.'"]
That’s right. The government has to rely on health care professionals to determine need. I think the missing word here is “independent.” Or maybe “disinterested.” “Unbiased” would work.
Isn’t it obvious that if you ask me if I deserve a raise I will say “Yes, after careful consideration, I feel that I deserve a raise.”
