Now as a director, I felt that I had no course to choose
from but from what they and as we feel the people of the
county want_ us to move. Tonight all we are asking our
commissioners is that we let all the people of Iredell
County who want to vote on this issue. And I don't think
it should be up to any one of us in this room or the
commissioners as a body to make the decision as to whether
we go on with these programs or not.
I think we have a charge to the public to give them the
facts between now and the election day and to let that
group of citizens whom we are representing make the final
decision. And I'm willing to let it rest there, and so we
are asking the commissioners tonight to give the people
of this county an opportunity to vote as to what they
want done with their hospitals that they own, that you and
I and all the citizenry of Iredell County own.
When I was a child I believed in Santa Claus, but as
I grew up I found that there were no Santa Clauses; there
are no free nieals. And I don't care how the hospitals are
built, if we want a hospital in this county, somebody's
going to have to pay from them. It is my belief that the
citizens of Iredell County can support and maintain and
pay for the health care that they deserve and that they
want.
