Now think about that a moment. Before I got ij.volved
in this campaign, and let me tell you how I got involved.
I'm simply a citizen in Mooresville. I've lived in
Iredell County 36 years, if we want to put that in also.
But nevertheless, I am a citizen in Mooresville, I'm
not on the board of directors. I am chairing up this
bond campaign simply because I believe in our hospitals,
in our locally owned hospitals, But before I got involved
in this, I checked the facts. I listened to the facts
as presented by accountants, architects, consultants,
administrators, and other knowledgeable persons that we,
as taxpayers, have paid for and hired, And I believe
these facts, I believe they speak for themselves.
Even our opposition says the facts are true. The
bond issue is very vital to the future of our hospitals
and especially Lowrance Hospital in Mooresville. Now
you have seen presented here tonight some facts and some
partial facts, and some that are just less than facts,
statements such as the cost of hospitalization will double.
Well, this is simply untrue, purely speculation. No
one knows what hospitalization rates will be doing one
year from now, let alone five years from now.
Blue Cross -Blue Shield bases their rates on a state-
wide average, not what Iredell County does with their
hospital bonds. That's simply an untrue statement.
