Just watched the press conference on CBS 42.
Don't confuse my user name with any sort of alphabet faggotry.
It only stands for drag racing, and Route 66 was my home track back in the day.

At what point do we say UAB is big enough? UAB is nearly a total health monopoly in this state as it is.

Been in the works for a while. They have had a collaborative between the 2 institutions for about 5 years or so. Crazy to think when I moved here in 97 there were 13 hospitals in the B'ham market. Now there will literally be 3 choices.

Only a hand full of hospitals from the middle of the state north that won't be owned by UAB or Huntsville Hospital. I hate to say it, but if anyone believes that this will help with the cost of their health care or the quality they receive, they're wrong. Exactly. This is bad news for patients.

It doesn't matter. Ascension and the benevolent Nuns were a woke social justice group just as bad as UAB. No real difference there. I never met a nice Nun there and hated their socialist policies. Public never saw it, but I and other workers did.
I don't care for UAB, but I won't miss the Nuns either.
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.

Tenet is a disaster so the only hospital left to compete will be Grandview. Wait and see how many specialty groups flock from Ascension to Grandview!

Tenet is a disaster so the only hospital left to compete will be Grandview. Wait and see how many specialty groups flock from Ascension to Grandview! Agreed. Will definitely be interesting. I am amazed that Tenet is still in business. Last few times I worked at the 3 Brookwood Baptist facilities, they were all a shell of what they used to be. I think it is just a matter of time before Princeton shuts down (already shut down OB). They have done some shady stuff the past couple of years that would cause lawsuits and could lose their CMS status. As stated, this is not good for the consumer and much like The Affordable Care Act, inches us one step closer to socialized medicine.
