No that the momentary perma-grin from finally hearing news of the new hospital has warn of (not all that perma), what does it mean for funding? Will the Town (read us) be on the hook for a significant part of this expansion fee? What does this mean for the hospital levy (increase, remove?). Where does the money from this levy now go towards?
I'm also cautions about the political grandstanding and does someone pull the plug on this. How long till we see a shovel in the ground (they can still cancel, but its harder after contracts have been awarded).
The the others that aren't all that excited because they aren't old... hospitals are for the old & young (kids). If you are late 20s, 30s, you should think about them
There are a lot of people that drive by MDH and go directly to credit valley because the Emerg isn't up to snuff -- there also no (this could have changed) on staff pediatrician. Many people have to go to other hospitals if they are anything but low-risk pregnancies. Of course they will still have to go to sick kids, or hamilton if its really serious, but that makes doesn't mean we should try staying a level 1 hospital forever!
Don't worry, when out property taxes and hospital levy start increasing you will know that the hospital is being built. Add those taxes to the Velodrome expenses, then this should be a great place to live.
