Now if someone, I believe Dr. Kearns or someone,
alluded to the fact that we want the best health care that
we can have for ourselves and our loved ones. And I'm
no different from you in wanting that. I don't want my
children and grandchildren to be burdened with taxes beyond
their means for health care in the future years, but I
do want them to have the best health care they can have.
And you know I'm even more selfish than that, I'm in
that group that's getting to the age that I might be
willing to spend anything I've accumulated to have better
health, and so I also want it for myself. And I just
want to share with you, then, in closing, a pledge from
the directors and the trustees who almost unanimously
voted as we've studied this issue to move forward. We
did have the Hamilton Associates, who recommended this was
the future course that Iredell Memorial should take. We
have had three feasibility studies updated as late as today
that's saying that we can afford the issue. And so all
we want to ask tonight of our commissioners is that if
I'm wrong that I will listen to the voters on November 2nd,
and that we want the chance to let the voters, the citizens
of this county, speak out on how they feel as a group on
the issue.
Thank you.
